Hello! I have a quick question involving my new purchased EVGA GeoForce 660 Ti Overclocked Edition 3GB GDDR5. I just bought it lie 30 minutes ago from microcenter and i haven't opened it yet nor installed anything in case of whatever...

Anywayz, I have just purchased this card since im upgrading from integrated graphics, and I have a question involving the minimum amps required for this card. On the box i neglected to consider this factor, but the card says it requires AT LEAST 24 amps on the +12V rail. Now according to my power supply it says that it has +12VA1@23A, and +12VA2@20A. Does this mean that it has a combined total of 43 Amps available thus resulting in a functional graphics card??

Here are some specs which may help in resolving this concern:
AMD Phenom ii x4 960T Black Edition
MSI Mainboard 880G-E45
Kingston Hyper Blu 1333 8GB RAM
Thermaltake TR2 Series 600 Watt *Load Range* +3.3V@22A; +5V@18A; +12V1@23A; +12V2@20A; -12V@0.3A; +5VSB@2.5A

Will it run my new card?

P.S. I am not much of a hardcore PC gamer, I play only a select few PC games like BF sometimes or Even Borderlands. I am mostly an editor, and video graphics designer.

You don't add them, yet you do have enough amps on the 12V rail for it. I'm sure someone will explain how it works.

You have enough power.
