Hello, im planning on building a new pc (about 714$)

But, one question, The Graphics card (Gt 640 2gb GDDR5 GPU

Needs 20A on the 12v rail, but, the choosen powersupply only gives 18A

Is this a concern? Would the PSU burn out, or fail? or just use more power?

Here's the build.

Solution
It is combined they mean and both rails have 360watts between them, so combined it is 360watts/ 12 volts = 30amps! You are good to go.
