Hey Guys,

As I said in a diff post, I'm upgrading my GPU to a EVGA Superclocked 2GB GTX 770. It's currently on its way...

On a review of the card, I saw something that said that the card needs "42 amps on the 12V rail" from the PSU...

Honestly I have no idea what that means, or if my PSU can support it.

I have a Antec HighCurrent Gamer 750W (Non modular) PSU. - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371049

Do I need a new PSU or am I good to go?
 
You're more than good to go. That PSU will likely even support 2 GTX 770s.

However the PSU only got 40 amps per 12v rail, but I don't suspect it will let you down. Antec usually make some decent PSUs. A guy on Newegg mentions that he can run two GTX 570 with no issues whatsoever. GTX 570 uses more power than a GTX 770, so as mentioned before, you're pretty much good to go.
