Hey
I got an ASUS 9600GT graphics card and it says it requires +12V/26.0A.
I've just realized my PSU only supplies +12V/24.0A. I've been running this combination for about 3 months. However, sometimes when I play demanding games like Fallout 3 & Dawn of War 2; it glitches, i get a BSoD for less than a second, then the computer restarts. Could the reason be that I'm not getting enough Amps out of my PSU?

what is the brand (and the model), that matters too, a crap brand like raidmax or apevia could be giving out un-clean power to your system

Need suggestion in picking a Processor
By Pro Llama, 6 hours ago:

The i7 920 runs about $290 in US, so I'm guessing that you either are not in the US or need that $400 for more then just the cpu. So a PII 955 c3 is $160 on newegg.com, can get a good asus board for $110ish, and 4gb of ddr3 for $105ish. Total would be around $375. There are also boards in the $60 range that are good but dont have as many features. You can try an i5 setup, but it will push you past your $400 limit.
