I guess answering the following question would solve my problem:
Can this power supply:

power this graphics card?:

According to a source the wattage should be over 500 and the total amperage over the 12v rails should be over 30:

But my confusion stems from how the PSU has three 12 volt rails but only two PCI-E connectors. I am assuming that a 12 volt rail goes to each PCI-E connector, is that correct? But then if you read the specs for the PSU it says:
1 x 12V(P4)
1 x 12V(8Pin)
2 x PCI-E
So does this mean two of its 12V rails go to the 12V(P4) and the 12V(8pin)? Where does the third one go?
And then there's this PSU:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817182199
It only has a single 12V rail, but two PCI-E connectors. Is the 12V rail split into the two PCI-E connectors somehow?
Thanks!
