I have a question that I really need help with. Here are the 3 items I am looking to buy and I want to know if they will work with each other

Now the video card requires 26A or more and the power supply has 18A on 12V1 and 15A on 12V2 will this work cause total it's 33A which is more then what it needs but split up it's not. Need help cause I really don't want to buy this and it don't work.

Yeah, you add up the amps on each rail for the total amps avaliable.

(Btw. thats a great card, plays every game I have flawlessly on the highest settings.)

ok tell me if this is right, is the 12v Rail the four tip plug that goes into the motherboard? Cause if that is right would that I would need a mobo that supports dual rails?

That is the 12v, but all the molex cables are 12volts as well, as well as the PCIE one. The PSU will combine the 2 12v rails.

K I guess I really won't fully understand till I have my hands on it but if it will work I'll find a way. The main reason why I was wondering this was because a friend of mine got a set up similar to mine (different mobo) and he said the his video card would fail when he tried playing not so heavy video games like world of warcraft not even trying something like doom 3 or F.E.A.R and said that so he RMAed it for a OCZ single rail 32A PSU. Still in RMA process right now. What would that be from under/over power or defective card/mobo?
