According to EVGA, the max power draw for your GPU is 170W, or about 14A at 12V.

In fact, I found this at the bottom of the page for your GPU:

Requirements

Minimum of a 500 Watt power supply.
(Minimum recommended power supply with +12 Volt current rating of 30 Amps.)
An available 6-pin PCI-E power connector and an available 8 pin PCI-E power connector
Total Power Draw : 170 Watts
JFC.

That graphics card needs 30 amps? I had car audio amps that ran decent power that drained less than 30 amps @ 12 volts.

Sigh. Learning stuff the hard way.
