That's a very weak PSU. 13A on the 12V rail is poor, and not really up to the task of powering a relatively power-hungry system with a Geforce 7800.

You might find that it works for a while, but I'd seriously consider getting yourself a quality unit. An Antec 380W should do the job nicely.:)
 
Thanks p4radox

I got another one 15A on the 12v i used that instead and it seems to be working ok so far i played a few games and nothing bad gone wrong lol

I will change it later but if it goes bang in the mean time then thats the risk i have to take lol :D

cheers
