That is weird, 460 watts should be more than enough like you said.

Is this the PSU you bought:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817171046

Under the specs it says it has 18 amps for the +12v rail.

If you look here at this video card which is like the one you have:

http://www.newegg.com/product/produc...82E16814130082

It says under the specs that it requires a PSU with a +12v rail of 26 amps.

However your PSU has 2 +12v rails both at 18 which gives you 36 total but I don't know if the card requires only 1 +12v rail at 26 or higher rather than 2 separate ones. It's confusing.

This is why it's best not to go cheap on a power supply.
