It looks fine i guess, But i'm no expert when it comes to PSU rails hehe >.>

 

[Jase123]

hehe..... well the amps on the 12v is the most important like that ati x1950 pro requires 30a at least on the 12v rail.

The 450W Corsair a solid PSU and will serve you well but it's not for you. 3A is hardly enough for the rest of your system. The 520W one is much better, since it has three +12V rails with a total of 40A on all of them combined. Pretty good and from a reliable manufacturer too. Also, the X1950PRO/XT is as far as you can go without encountering a bottleneck, so it's a good choice. Good luck and enjoy the new card.
