The PSU has 4 12V rails in total of 62 AMP Can anyone help me with this? I want to be sure before I buy a new grapics card. de psu is now 1,5 years old. Thanks!
750 Watts should be more than enough.

[QUOTE=Pelvic Thrust;35911790]^ And aim for a SeaSonic[/QUOTE] I was actually talking about his current PSU which is a 750 Watt (Well it was until he edited it to a 1200W power supply).
Well it's is a old one. So I was not sure about the 12v rails of this one. I heard that the 7970 need al lot of power :P
Well you have 12 * 62 = 744 Watts on your 12v rail alone, more than enough.
7970 doesent need much, its built on 28nm process.
