yes u can get a straight nvidia card .. bfg, chaintech, and evga are examples of aftermarket sellers that add their own tweaks ... and the psu u need to google ur model to see, but its common to have a 20+4 settup on the wiring ...

1- Nvidia does not make their own cards, you must buy from a vendor.
2- That power supply will not work, you need one that has a 24 pin connector to match the motherboard.
Your power supply is the one that requires to have a dedicated lead to the videocard also, if it doesn't then you need to use a molex adapter. But this means that the PSU was not designed for high end cards and it will probably not supply enough power to the 8800 GTX.

You can get an NVIDIA card just keep looking
For the 24 pin hookup I have a 24 to 20 pin converter that allows me to hook it up to my motherboard. The four pin connectors are to power your drives and videocard
