Looking to upgrade my vid card to the EVGA 04G-P4-3768-KR GeForce GTX 760 FTW 4GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 SLI Support Video Card w/ EVGA ACX Cooler

Currently have a OCZ GameXStream OCZ700GXSSLI 700W ATX12V SLI

Not sure if I am reading the specs correctly, can this power supply handle the 760?

Look, it is not hard.
Go to nVidia's website, look up your chip, under the specs it will list how much power the individual card requires, and the minimum suggested PSU size should be. If your PSU is bigger than the suggested requirement then you should be fine.

Hint: 700W is a freaking large amount of power and is typically big enough to run 2 high end GPUs along side a high end CPU and several HDDs.

Thanks Tzn and CaedenV for the answers, CaedenV the confusion for me was if all the +12 rails added up as the card states it needs +12V with at least 30Amps.

Thanks again :)
