See, his is only 18A on the 12V rail, so why cant 28A on the 12V rail be enough for the x1950GT?
How many amps does it need?

Please check your facts before posting this sort of garbage. There is no such thing as too much amperage on a particular rail. You can use a 1000W PSU on a PC that will never draw more than 100W, and it will run flawlessly. A component will only draw what's required.I think a single 12volt @ 28 Amps is more than enough for one PCI-E graphics card. Just make sure its not too much amps on the rail. Less amp is better than too much amp. Excess amp on individual rail may cause the parts to overdrive. Check your graphics card to see how many amps it can handle.
The official recommendation is +12V@30A. In practice that's considerably more than what's required. The Dynapower would be sufficient if it could actually output the power it's rated for. In practice, it cannot.See, his is only 18A on the 12V rail, so why cant 28A on the 12V rail be enough for the x1950GT?

7600GTs don't draw much power. X1950s are another story. As I've already said, the output ratings on the Dynapower are unrealistic, whereas the amperage rating on that Thermaltake PSU is more or less realistic (although the wattage rating is not, it's actually a rebadged 300W).See, his is only 18A on the 12V rail, so why cant 28A on the 12V rail be enough for the x1950GT?

What's the difference between a 20+4 and a 24?
My motherboard is 20 pin.. Which do I need?
Will this run the x1950GT?

If you can get the XVS I linked to from tigerdirect (http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/searchtools/item-Details.asp?sku=ULT33136&SRCCODE=ULTRA1) while that price lasts, I would jump on it. If not, the XClio Goodpower is a solid choice.I'm not going to run SLI...
Can someone link me a "good" PSU, and my budget at the most is $50 + shipping. It needs to be 20+4 since my motherboard has a 20 pin plug.
