Hey guys, I was recently given a GTX 260 as a present from my loving wife and a BFG 800W from my brother. Will it run my card?

Edit: Forgot to mention why I am concerned :( .The box states that there are 4 independant 12v rails and each has a maximum pull of 20A. However, the box also states that the combined total pull for all four rails is 56A. This would put all four rails at 14A. The card needs at least 36A. So would that mean that my card should be fine and have 20A left over or will I be returning this one? This isn't the ES either, its the Limited Edition 800w with the 4 PCI-E connectors. Thanks in advance.

Thanks, was kinda worried. Luckily you caught me halfway out the door on my way to change it for a TX750.

You will be fine with a 3way SLI GTX280 don't worry about one GTX260.

Its ok. In my wife's infinate wisdom, she reminded me that i'd be more happy with the TX750, haven't looked back. Thanks guys. And I'm pretty sure that GTX 280 3-way uses more than 56A.
