Is this any good to power a AGP version X1950 Pro?

My Setup

MSI K8N Neo 2 Platinum
AMD 3800 X2 @ 2.6 Ghz
X1600 PRO 256 MB HIS AGP
160 G WD PATA
2 160 G Seagate SATA in RAID
2 Samsung DVDRWs
2 GB Corsair Value Select Ram
2 120 mm fan (one with lights)
1 side 80 mm fan
NEON case lighting.
And Good old FLOPPY Drive

All in a ULTRA ALUMINUS BLACK Case.

All I play is BF2. The current system is quite smooth at medium settings.

Is it worth upgrading to X1950 PRO with this power supply or go with mid-range X1650XT (Again HIS version)?

Any help appreciated.

@38amps on those 2 +12v rails thats psu looks fine to me, mine only has the 1 12V rail w/30amps and thats good enough to power my c2d and x1950pro

and go with the x1950pro, you wont see much over your curent x1600 over a x1650 but a x1950 will make all the difference belive me

Yeah I have about 35 amps between 2 rails..my x1950 pro works great with my OC'd C2D setup. I highly recommend the x1950, it's a great vid card, and you get what you pay for with that product, just get one with a good cooler, or get a good cooler and install it..reference coolers aren't much to brag about.
