This is the card i'm getting:

My current PSU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817341022

I'm a...semi noob.. when it comes to PSU's so I came to tom's of course haha

but do you think I'll run into any problems? I know the card needs 500w but I was reading stuff about 12v rails and that's when I was like uhhhh I think i'll just ask tom's community.

Thank you!

Yes, that power supply will take care of that graphics card very nicely.

The 760 wants 30amps, and yours is providing a combined amps of 37.5 over it's dual 12v rails.

edit corrected my math thanks to Ko888 😀

The 760 wants 30amps, and yours is providing a combined amps of 50 over it's dual 12v rails.

Wow! I am so pleased with this forum! I can't believe how quick you guys are. I really like how you all have like different badges for stuff you're good in and all that.

Well anyways..Thank you very much for your extremely speedy, simple, to the point answer.

For a system using a single GeForce GTX 760 graphics card NVIDIA specifies a minimum of a 500 Watt or greater system power supply that has a maximum combined +12 Volt continuous current rating of 30 Amps or greater and that has at least two 6-pin PCI Express supplementary power connectors. Some of the non-reference design GeForce GTX 760 cards require a single 8-pin or two 8-pin or one 6-pin and one 8-pin PCI Express supplementary power connectors.

The EVGA GTX 760 SC w/ ACX Cooler 2 GB [02G-P4-2765-KR] requires one 6-pin and one 8-pin PCI-E power connectors.

The OCZ Fatal1ty 550W (OCZ550FTY) power supply unit, with its maximum combined +12 Volt continuous current rating of 37.5 Amps and with one 6-pin and one (6+2)-pin PCI Express supplementary power connectors, is sufficient to power your system configuration with a single GeForce GTX 760 graphics card.
