I think it'll manage.

Unfortunatly after looking around I couldn't find any exact power requirements. Usually the power requirements are between 18amps and 26 amps on the 12V rail. I think you have that covered with your power supply. That powersupply also has the 6 pin power connector for the video card also. I think your good.

Hey! It looks as if your power supply should be able to handle it. Here are the specs of the card. It took a bit of searching to find it.

I agree you are good to go, appling some mpilchology I get less than 17A requirement and 20A or more is recommended. That is rated for 380w/31A +12v max.

Not to mention the ATNG based rosewills are the best of their OEMs - the others are solytech, youngyear, and wintech I would definilty prefer an ATNG!
