New rig help

Well nvidia calls for only 26A to power a 8800GTS rig. The Corsair has 18A on EACH of its 12V rails, big difference.

agreed, but when you said "Make sure the PSU is solid and has at least 26 amps on the 12v rail" it just really sounded like you expected 26A on one 12v rail, which is extremely rare for any PSU. even sub-par 500w power suppliers come with two or three 16-18A 12V lines nowadays, so it's more a question of choosing a stable and reliable psu that can handle a heavy load without breaking a sweat
