Make sure you do some research on any new PSU you buy; wattage means almost nothing these days.

A forum I use that has a lot of people who take power supplies very very seriously.

On the voltage you're seeing now, 10.8 is HORRIBLE, but the other numbers seem alright. My system is pretty much always stable within +/- 5%. So...

3.135 to 3.465 on the 3.3V,
4.75 to 5.25 on the 5V,
and 11.4 to 12.6 on the 12V.

Lots of draw on the 12V but you look fine otherwise..
