I was wondering if this PSU http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817153023
Would be good enough to power this video card.http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814150174
Taking all of the other components into account, I know the 430W should be enough, but what I am a little confused on is how the rails work and what I need. I was looking at the site's "PSU 101" guide and noticed that is said this video card's +12V Amperage should be 20A. Of course, I'm not quite sure what that means, but the PSU you saw previously said it had +12V@18A which I'm assuming is a rail and this means that the PSU is 2A short. I would like some clarification and would like to know if this PSU would work or if I need to find another one.
