I was actually trying to do a calculation to see if my PSU was good
enough for my setup, I am having some stability issues.



...you just gave yourself the awnser...get a good PSU and be happy (
Enermax, Antec True Power )


But I need to make sure I get high enough current rating on each line! Even
a £1000000 PSU that can only supply 20A on the 12V line won't work if I am
trying to draw 25A !!! I have calculated all the other powers, it's just it
makes quite a difference whether the 75W for my graphics card comes off the
12V, 5V or 3.3V line.


Ofcourse... the said Wattage doesn't matters.. that is in most cases
peak wattage and in enermax and good PSU cases the nominal Wattage it
can deliver.

What matters is the volt line the parts use....
