430W power supply with 6 pin model TR2 430NP thermaltake

i was going to buy this card here http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130084

but i am not sure about the minimum power supply it wants

+12V ~ 22 amps
on my thermaltake it displays +12V ~ 18 amps......
i'm pretty sure i have a 6 pin plug but i am confuse on the amp rating
i check other psu and i can only find 18 amps most... not 22 amps
help???

+5V 30 amps
+12V 18 amps

Ummm no?

Lol it says it needs 22A on the 12V rail and he has 18A. = Not enough.
Do you only have a single rail? I have a 500W CoolerMaster with 2 16A rails. It will run it with room to spare. Plus your PSU is the most important part of the computer. I wouldn't want to have to see if it would barely be able to run your hardware. The PSU I have is only $50.
