well..
first, that's a bad psu.. read this review about your psu.. => http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/Cooler-Master-eX...

and..
don't ever use a molex to pcie power converter to supply power to your graphic card..

conclusion.

get a better power supply.
something like seasonic s12 520w is much better psu, and it will give you plenty quality power to all of your component..

Nope. That PSU only have 18a availble on the non-cpu 12v rail. Its right on the label.
