low watts but high amps. what is more important?

Hi guys,

I got a PSU with low watts but most of them on the 12v rails (2x12v rails, each one 16a).

Do you think it could handle an I7 4770 and a GTX 1050i?

According to many reviewers and Nvidia specs the card tops at 75w and around 4a so doesn't need a PCIe connector.

Rest of the system is an SSD 168GB, HDD 500GB and Creative XFI on a apparently simple Lenovo mobo with SATA3 and 2x8GB PC3 ram.

Funny enough the PSU has only 15W and 2.5a for 5v but doesn't have any ratings for a 3.3v rail so I guess the system doesn't need it!

cheers

It is a customised Lenovo mobo with a customised LITEON PSU which has only 270W on the 12v rails so I was surprised to see 2x12v rails (one is for the CPU and the other for the mobo as per PSU details) with 16a each for a total of 32a

The mobo 12v connectors from the PSU are 4 pin and 14 pin!!

So do you think will handle a GFX 1050Ti small factor which only draws the power from the PCIE slot?

Cheers
