Hi, i just want to make sure my PSU will support my EVGA 760. The box of the GPU says that it needs 30 amps on a +12 volt rail.
This is my PSU: http://www.coolermaster.com/powersupply/extreme/extreme...

There's 18A on a +12 volt rail. Is this enough to run the card properly?

The rest of my specs are as follows:
intel i5 3570k
2x4gb DDR3-1866
1TB WD HDD
1 DVD/CD RW combo
and Nvidia 9800GT (which im gonna replace)

Also i got about 4 fans running in the tower.

Thanks!

Although not the best it will run the card since the 30amp is for combined rails. Actually is one of the generic PSU's that drives up the recommended specs to 500watts since total system load does not even reach 400watts.

The total system recommended is usually around 500w but for the card its self is 160w stock at max load. Its needs are very much the same as a GTX460 but much more eco on average loads. With overclocking the load should only top 180w due to software imposed limits and idiot proofing in hardware (no more great oc like it used to be). Cooling matters though!
