Will my PSU handle a 7600GT?

[cloakster]

I have a 350W PSU and i was wanting to buy this card: http://www.ncix.com/products/index.p...nufacture=eVGA
It says that the PSU requirement is: Minimum of a 350 Watt power supply with +12 Volt current rating of 18 Amps.
I have no idea of the amps my PSU has so I looked in my case and there were a bunch of numbers on the PSU. I dont have a camera to use so heres the numbers:

350W / 28A / 30A / 16A / 0.3A / 0.8A / 2.0A / 350W

Which one would be what im looking for? and can this handle a 7600GT?

thx

I think it will be ok. I have a TruePower 380W powersupply and use a 7900GT 512MB with it...

persionally, I would try to get a better PSU, but the truth is it will most likely run fine. do you have any other things in your computer such as sound cards or extra cd/hard drives? if you have just like one to 2 cd drives and one hard drive and no sound cards or anything should be fine.

Thx for the replys. I have 1 DVD Burner, 1 HD, 1 PCI Network card, 1 CPU fan, 1 Case fan and one floppy disk drive. So would that be fine?

Maybe, but you will be putting a lot of stress on that psu, so don't be suprised if it fails and takes something else with it.

Exactly, putting strain on your PSU is just not a good idea. It can ruin your computer or even burn your house down in some cases. (In some extreme cases)

Just get a new PSU with dual 12V rails. You should be fine after that.

Is this any better? From the specs and reviews it seems better than the Ultra-X infinity.
