alright well im making a budgt pc for my cousin and the case psu is +12v @ 14.2a, and im trying to hook him up with a 76gt but it says that the minimum requirement for psu is 350w with 18a, so should i just get him another psu or will the vga still make it?

How many watts is that PSU? Most pre-builts come with a 300W PSU with around 15-20 amps and work fine with a 7600GT.

Oh damn, that's a pretty low quality PSU then... Are you sure it only has a single 12V rail with 14 amps? Maybe it has more 12V rails?
