I want to know if my current PSU is powerfull enough and has enough amp on the +12v rails (+12V1@25A, +12V2@35A) to run this new videocard I just bought... should I buy a new psu right now ? I called gigabyte and a tech on the phone told me I was alright since I had 750w and the card require 600w but am affraid of damage to the card because a review of the card on the website legitreview said the card require 42amp on the +12v rails... and my old videocard a evga 470gtx got artifacts and issues ever since the very first day when she was new maybe because she required 38amp and my psu is at 25a (we aren't sure that caused the problem from what evga said they even repaired the card with the same issues after))

Card requires 600W

PSU is a brand Ive never heard of but bronze certified.

You left extra wattage in the PSU which is smart.

I see absolutely no issues with that set up. Just make sure the brand is reputable...even if its not that should work just fine.

It has more than enough power to run that card.

A GeForce GTX 770 need at least 42A on the 12 rail and a 600 att PSU

+12V1@25A, +12V2@35A = More than enoough power between the 2 rails , enjoy the card.

but my psu as just 25a on the 12 rail no ? its written on the psu side Inside the case : Class-leading Dual +12V rail(s) with 50A (+12V1@25A, +12V2@35A) but I think that's on 2 rails not just 1 what does it mean in plain English when I plug the 6pins and 8pins pcie power connector ? I have 25a or 50-60a ?
