I want to upgrade to a GeForce GTX 260 and want to know of my current PSU can handle it. It's an Antec Neo Power 500W, and it has 3 +12V rails each 17A for a total of 51A.
Yes, you are fine with that PSU but you only have 38a total on the +12v rail(s) not 51a. You cannot simply add the rails to get the total but rather each rail is capable on handling 17a as you noted.
