What would be best card for my configuration Intel Core 2 Duo E4400 2.00 Ghz, 4 Gb ram, motherboard Asus P5LD2-X, psu 500 W with 18 A on + 12 V rail

You have 216Watt to play with. 18A x 12v = 216watt.

What EXACT PSU model is it?

A GTX750 is probably the only thing I would add to that power supply. Anything more would stress it too much.

^ thats correct, 1 watt=1 Joule per coulomb.

Edit: thats my bad, one volt is one joule per coulomb, one watt is one joule per second. Its how much energy is flowing per unit time

Joule = unit of energy (i.e. kinetic energy is measured in Joules)

Coulomb = unit of electrical charge (i.e. measures how many electrons are being pushed through an electrical circuit)

Watt = unit of work (i.e. how much energy per unit of time is expended)

Ampere = unit of electrical current (i.e. how much electrical charge per unit of time is pushed through the circuit)

1 Volt (V) = 1 Joule/Coulomb

1 Ampere (A) = 1 Coulomb/second

1 Watt (W) = 1 Joule/second

So, 1 Volt x 1 Ampere = 1 Joule/Coulomb x 1 Coulomb/second = 1 Joule/second = 1 Watt

Hence, 18V x 12A = 216W

I just don't see why you needed to post that information. Flexing your brain? You probably just confused the hell out of him and now we're going to see another thread lol

ACtually I simplified it A LOT... Not so confusing to just multiply the Amperage by the voltage(specific rail) to find the wattage output.
spdragoo expanded it because you seemed to not get i? I think I confused you. :D  No offence meant.

Thanks for response, for model it say ATX 500 P4, i asked because i see some card require minimum Ampers on + 12 V rail

no I wasn't confused at the equation, just confused as to why you mentioned it. But i get it, it is relevant information. I just had nothing to add so I added 0.o lol
