Choosing a new psu.

[qoou]

this one is my favorite.

Ok, so me being me I have decided that I want the best. So I have decided to go for a 7900GTX. Here: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814150143

Although I saw something which might be a problem. It says in system requirements that it needs a

A 400W PCI Express complaint system power supply (with 12V current rating of 26A or more)

The psu that I am planning to get has:

+12V1@17A, +12V2@19A,

Does the system requirement for the gfx card mean overall? or per rail? Do I have to choose a different psu? Because as I have said before I cant afford to get something only to have it not work!
Cheers

PSU:
Antec SmartPower 2.0 500W

Motherboard:
ABIT GD8 (LGA 775) Intel 915P

Yeah I did consider it, but after a lot of careful consideration I decided that due to my experience with NVIDIA products being far more pleasing than that with ATI products, I decided to stay true to NVIDIA and go with the 7900GTX

I also decided that as I have become a great fan of gigabyte's products, It would be a safe bet to go with the gigabyte card rather than the MSI.
I also decided to get some extra bits and peices for my new case which I am now going to begin work on!
I have ordered the hardware and a new camera for my mum! (That made her exited about the order also which gave me some room to expand on my budget haha!
Thanks for the help!
It gives me great confidence to know that there are people out there willing to help me if I run into any problems! You lot better prepare yourself for when I start building this thing at the end of easter because Im sure I'll run into a few problems haha!
Peace

DO. NOT. BUY. BFG. GRAPHICS. CARDS.

for the cost, you could either get a better eVGA card (still nV) or the same one for cheaper. =/

and eVGA = quality, man.
