The 7600Gt is not a crazy power hungry card, compared to most others. But definetly find out how many watts your PSU is.
This card costs more money, but is also an exellent card
If you want a card that you can tweak, this is the card. this is basically an X1800XT in sheeps clothing.
this can be overclocked heavily, voltmodded using software, and 4 more pipelines can be unlocked using a BIOS flash.

Unfortantly yes you will need a new PSU.
the 7600GT requires a minimum of a 350 WATT PSU.

they come pci-e ready so you dont have to use an adapter for the power on your new video card.. and the main power comes with a 24/20 breakable pin. (the last I remember) it will make more sence when your putting it together some of the newer mobos use 24 pins of power where as older use 20 pin.

sorry about all these questions but im still new to actually modifing anything in a computer...
are the power supply sizes standard or do i need to look at the deminsions of my old one thats in there, and i am assuming they are kind of universal as far as connectors go so when i decide to build my own computer i can then use that psu?

Thats fine that your asking questions.
Well there are differnt types of powersupplies.
what is the specific model of your computer.
the most standard type of Power supply is an ATX power supply.
And the connectors on most every powersupply are Universal, so you can use the Same powersupply on your next build.
