You need a 450watt PSU to run an 8800GTX but you also have to have a minimum of 28amps on its +12V rails also and nowhere does it show what it has as far as amps goes. Should be a sticker on it showing you what the +12V rail amperage is. If there are multiple +12V rails like +12V1 and +12V2 the total needs to be at least 28amps.

Athlon64 X2 6000+ draws up 10.5 amps on the +12V rail. X2 Brisbanes draw only 5.5 amps. 8800GTX draws up to 11 amps on the +12 V rail. You would need at least 30 amps on the +12V rail if you have an X2 6000+ on a mobo w/ 6-8 phase regulator. 26 amps should be fine with X2 Brisbanes or 65W Windsors.
It looks like your power supply is outdated for modern graphics card. It DOES NOT have a PCIe power connector. The +12V rail output is not listed on the specs and may not be strong enough for the 8800 series.

It would, but you might wanna go up to 600 or even 700W.
Newegg.com is awesome for great deals.
