How many Amps will a 12v rail need to power the AMD A10-7850k?

I'll be making a build centered around the AMD A10-7850k and have been googling for hours looking for detailed power consumption specs.

I know what I'm looking for as far as watts go, I've researched that to death, but cannot find -any- information on the amps required on the +12v. Not even AMD posts this information.

I'm looking at a PSU that will have the necessary watts to run the build, and even lists its amp output; (+3.3v = 16a) (+5v = 15a) (+12v = 16a) (-12v = 0.3a) (+5VSB = 2a)

The build is very discreet; A8-7850k, msi A68HI mITX, 2x 8GB DDR3 @2133mhz and a single SSD.

Very low power consumption, but I need to know if the amps will be there for the APU.

In a DC circuit you simply need to remember P=IE (Watts = Current x Voltage)
