I'm getting a power supply upgrade from 250 W to about 400-500W becuase of my 8600 gt card. I just want to make sure that power supplies are compatible to all computers. For example, it won't overload my motherboard or something. I am currently using an hp a1740n.
Also, the requirements on the box of the graphics card said 325W power supply running on an intel core 2 extreme x6800. Does that make a difference? I am currently running an intel core 2 duo E6300.

A higher rated power supply would not harm your PC. The power supply will only deliver what your PC demands. A higher rated power supply runs cooler and lasts longer.
Do not just consider total wattage rating of the power supply. Look for strong +12 V rail. Dual rail is better.
