Ok so I opened my computer today and looked at the psu it has a 12va and 12vb.12va has 12amps while b has 16 I want to know will this be sufficient for the EVGA Geforce GTX 750 ti sc if not then which psu should I get. Im thinking of getting this one CORSAIR CX series CX500 500W and will this be compatible with the gpu.

More about : psu gpu

We would need to know how many watts the PSU puts out on the +12v rails in total to know how many Amps it puts out.

A gtx750Ti only needs 20A, but it draws all its power from the motherboard (no psu connectors needed). That recommendation of 20A is EVGA just wanting to cover their bases.

The corsair CX500W has (depending on the exact model) from 34-38Amps on the +12v rail. So it has more than enough to power your system. It's not the highest quality PSU on the market, but it will suffice for the system you describe.

So for the psu should I get this one or another I have a range for about $75.
