I recently bought a psu with dual rail, and it has 18a on each rail. So, I am woundering if the psu has enogh ampers to power a gtx 760.(it only has onecable with a 6 pin and a 6+2 pin)

System specs:
Sentey brp600w
Gigabyte b85m d3h
i5 4440
4gb of ram 1600(upgrading to 8gb soon)
1tb wd caviar blue
lg dvd drive

For a system using a single NVIDIA Reference Design 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 have a single 8-pin (e.g. ASUS GTX 760 DirectCU II OC) or two 8-pin (e.g. MSI GTX 760 HAWK) or one 6-pin and one 8-pin (e.g. Gigabyte GTX 760 WindForce OC, EVGA GTX 760 SC w/ACX Cooler, MSI GTX 760 TwinFrozr Gaming) PCI Express supplementary power connectors.

Total Power Supply Wattage is NOT the crucial factor in power supply selection!!! Sufficient Total Combined Continuous Power/Current Available on the +12V Rail(s) is the most critical factor.

Overclocking of the CPU and/or GPU(s) may require an additional increase to the maximum combined +12 Volt continuous current ratings, recommended above, to meet the increase in power required for the overclock. The additional amount required will depend on the magnitude of the overclock being attempted.

The Sentey BRP Series 600W (BRP600) power supply unit, with its maximum combined +12 Volt continuous current rating of 35 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 NVIDIA Reference Design GeForce GTX 760 graphics card.

Thanks for replying with so much information, the dual rail format was really confusing me.
