psu's have three different rails one for 3.3v , 5v and one for 12v.these are the exact numbers of your corsair
+3.3V@25A, +5V@25A, +12V@46A, -12V@0.8A, +5VSB@3A the 12v rail is dedicated to the gpu. dont worry you can put as many as your case fits!

I wasn't sure what kind of amps/voltage I would need, but the Watts shouldn't be an issue from what I know. I was a little worried about having five case fans and all of the other stuff, which is why I'm asking.

Well then, I guess I blindly chose correctly while trying to mix price and performance ratings. Everything else I had a general idea, but I had no clue about the PSU. Thanks a lot!

*Edit* I might actually lower the Wattage to 550 or so if I can find one that has slightly better performance.
