my current set up for my computer is a AMD 4200+, 4 gigs of DDR2 800mhz ram, a nvidia 7800 Gt 256mb, and this mobo http://www.gigabyte-usa.com/Products/Motherboard/Products_Overview.aspx?ProductID=2310
I want to upgrade a 8 series card and ive been looking at this 8800GT

Only problem is my psu doesnt have the 6 pin connector to power the card and it requires a 400W minimum PSU (mines only 250W it came with my case) so i need a new PSU and ive been looking at this 600W one

My questions are if the mobo with its PCI Express 16x slot will run the 8800GT that says its a PCI Express 2.0 16x card. And if the PSU and GPU im looking at are the best bang for my buck or if i could get a worse PSU that still gives the same quality. I'm willing to spend around 300 total on both.
