9800GTX+ with OCZ StealthXStream 500W?

[Dazzeerr]

I'm planning on getting a 9800GTX+ but i'm not 100% my PSU will be fine.

It's a good quality PSU, i'm just worried about the two 12v rails.

The card says it needs 24 amps of power to power the 9800GTX+ WITH all the other usual components in the computer, my PSU has 36 amps but on 2 rails. 18A each. Will it be fine or not? I'm not sure how multiple rails work really.

If your psu has a EPS12 rating you will be fine, otherwise, if it only has ATX standards, you are not.

Unfortunately here says that it does not have EPS12 rating (meaning you cannot simply add the rails). http://www.ocztechnology.com/products/power_management/ocz_500w_stealthxstream_power_supply

So, you need a new psu. I would suggest either one of these http://www.corsair.com/products/hx/default.aspx as a good starting point.
