Amperage on the 12v Rail?

[Froboy7391_99]

I plan to upgrade to a 8800GTX or something along those lines in a few months. How many amps should I have on the 12V rail? I read 36+ in the 101. I want to use the OCZ GameXStream 700 Watt which has 18A on 4 rails does that mean it's not enough or do you add them together? I'm really at a loss here.

I believe that PSU has a combined amperage of 48A on the +12V. It will easily handle a single 8800GTX.

Ok thanks for clearing that up.

57A actually (it's the 600W that has 48A). You're right, though, it's more than sufficient.

To calculate total amperages, look at the total wattage rating for the +12V rails, and divide by 12.
