Should be plenty of power to run the card, if you look at the numbers

The PSU lists: Output +3.3@24A,+5V@24A,+12V1@18A,+12V2@18A,+12V3@18A,- 12V@0.8A,+5VSB@3A
The 3 +12V rails are 18a EA, total of 54A; usable ~ 45A give or take

The Gpu lists: Minimum 400W or greater system power supply (with 12V current rating of 26A) So you are looking good.

That is how simple it is to read the specs on a PSU

 

[Tony08]

oh i see, so you add each rail to the total amps? Thanks for your quick response and help.

[alcattle]

only part way, total Amps is never maximum amps, you add the efficency and other factors, roughly figure 75% of total. Better units even list both on the side panel of the PSU

Read the PSU 101 & 102 sticky in the power supply section, it explains everything, including a much more accurate way of calculation the total amps.

That psu has 40a on the +12v rail, more then enough power for your system.

 

[Tony08]

thank you for your insight alcattle!

No one ever said I had insight before, That's Good right WTF?

Insight: The capacity to discern the true nature of a situation

I'd say so.
