Ok, so how can I build the best PSU for it?
Simple, build the PSU from the schematic twice. (no, i'm not kidding)
But you really need to do a few things before that;
Do you have a chassis? Are you looking at one specifically?
Are you planning on using a PCB for the powersupply? Which one?
Do you have a link to the transformers you bought? Their configuration might make a diference on how you procede.
Don't worry if you have confusion or a question, just ask you questions here, we are all pleased to help!!
Tehtoril,
If you haven't already done it, the most important thing of all is to download Papa's manual, it has everything in it you need to know, read it carefully, then read it again, once you have done that, read it again.

1. I don't have any chassis, I was going to order/make one, at the end of the build, because right now I have no idea how much space do I need for all of it..
2. A minute ago, I just bought 2x chipamp PSU pcb's
3. Here's the pdf with the transformer: http://www.toroidy.pl/karty/pl/KK300.pdf
Unfortunetely for You. it's in polish But I can try and translate anything You need
Right now, I'm in the process of filling the basket in mouser.com (basing on the first pdf with bom that I wrote in my first post)so any advices would be much appreciated
Thanks.
One more question - do I have to stick tightly to the voltage rating of the resistors listed on the bom, or can I change for the one with higher voltage and lower tolerance? I want the best quality everywhere i can afford so I;m looking for the lowest tolerance
you meen wattage? you cant go over 5W they will be to big. i use only 3W on my supply's and they stay cold
I meant voltage. Like: Voltage Rating: 300 Volts from: RN60D10R0FRE6 Vishay/Dale | Mouser
4U/400 is better (say minimum for typical FW amp)
5U/400 even better
4U/400mm and up is a little wast of money for a standar F5 unless you live in a dessert
even a 2U/400mm will keep it at 30C above ambient but its on the edge.
