I am looking to purchase the NVidia GTX295 card shown here:

I currently have the power supply shown here:

I want to make sure that my power supply can run this, but I'm not entirely familiar with power supply terminology. I know that the card requires a PS with +12V current rating of 46 Amps, which this PS does have, however it's split over 4 +12V outputs, at 18A each. I'm guessing two of the 12V rails are the 2 PCI-e connectors (6-pin), and I'm not sure where the other two are.
The video card itself requires an 8-pin and a 6-pin connection, and looks like it comes with a 2 6-pin to 1 8-pin power cable, and one 2 4-pin peripheral to 1 6-pin peripheral power cable. The only way I can see to make this work is to use both of the PS 6-pin connections and two of the PS 4-pin peripheral connections for this card. Would this provide enough or am I going to need to look for a new PS that has the 8-pin PCI-E connection with more Amps on each rail?
