Throw that out as fast as possible, one of the worst PSU's it probably cant deliver 36Amps. Consider yourself lucky it hasn't fried any of your components yet. I had a RAIDMAX PSU once, I also had an expensive motherboard once, but the RAIDMAX PSU decided to kill it, and itself.

Throw out that PSU!
To calculate watts do 12 x 36 = 432, but that PSU wont deliver that 432 watts.

My previous car is a GTX 660 and I upgraded my PSU and my GFx card My GFX card is now an R9 280 from MSI. In AOD I can see the graphics card stays at 1.25 V and GPU-Z says the same thing. So I figured it isnt getting all the power it need and it is sucking all the power it can because GPU-z Shows it at 100% Usage. Also the 280 s better that the 660 and i get worse frames.

Sorry but your PSU is in tier 5 of the list which means it should not be used at all

Better change your PSU and get one with 42Amps on +12V rail just in case with 550-600w PSU like Seasonic/XFX/Corsair/EVGA

1.25v is the GPU core, that's good. it doesn't run at 12v it steps down 12v to 1.25,
Still throw out that PSU and buy an XFX or Seasonic or Corsair.

Will that be enough for my CPU and GPU and everything else in my system?

Oki then get Corsair CX600M power supply. It is good one. Don't buy other CX or CS/VS series PSU from Corsair. I would recommend
