Please, I need help. I am wondering especially about the 12v rails and amperages and so on. I need a power supply expert.

P.S. I will be using 2 molex to 1 6 pin adapter. Will that be a problem?

7850 should be run with 350w psu, but, you'll net the best psu to do that..
for example, seasonic g360..

Sparkle 350 is an passive pfc & old design psu..

but let's see..
a psu with +3.3V@22A, +5V@21A, +12V1@18A, +12V2@16A, -12V@0.3A, +5VSB@2.0A

12v1 usually for system

12v2 usually for add on and other parts..include your graphic card..

now let's see this table..

7850 need 178w while gaming...
and that sparkle only provide 216 w for second rail..

so you have only 38w for other parts..

single harddrive use around 20-25 w..
single case fan consume around 5-6 watt, well at least you need 2..so 12 w..
optical drive 20w..
let's do some very simple math..25+12+20=52..

well..as you can see..we can assume that your power supply is inadequate for your system with 7850..

get a better power supply..

at least a good 430w psu will good for you, for example, corsair cx430..

Thank you for your comprehensive answer. But what do you mean by 12v1 is for "system." What's "system"?
Do you mean motherboard and cpu and ram?

I just came upon interesting information in that the tdp of the 7850 is 130 watts. So how the hell is it at 178 while playing games?

The thermal design power (TDP), sometimes called thermal design point, refers to the maximum amount of heat generated by the CPU/GPU, which the cooling system in a computer is required to dissipate.
so, TDP is not power consumption..

Oh, all right. Thank you.
