Well that's interesting. Those 3.3V, +5V, and +12V specs are very different (and better) than what is listed for that model PSU (and my SP-400... I just checked the specs on the side label): https://www.antec.com/specs/SP400_spe.html


+5V 21A
+3.3V 22A
+12V1 10A

+12V2 15A
-12V 0.3A
+5VSB 2A

Anyway sounds like you are more than fine now. Anyway, sit back and relax and game on!
Wow that PSU is really old. I had one for a Pentium IV build but it still works after 12 years. The R7 260x requires 18 amps on the +12v rail, and that PSU has 25 amps between 15 amps on +12V1 and 10 amps on +12V2. Cutting it rather close considering the CPU shares use of the +12v rail(s).
