Thinking about getting a 6800

[[Enzo]]

Hi.
I want to get an Nvidia6800(non GT) to improve performance in gaming.

My specs:
250W PSU
533 FSB mobo
P4 2.4GHz (512kb) CPU
Nvidia 5500 OC
768mb PC2100 ram (256x1)(512x1)
40gb 7,200 rpm WesternDigital HDD
Samsung DVD-rom
Samsung CD-r/rw
Network card
Audigy sound card

Im worried that I might not have a powerfull enough PSU to power the 6800. What do you think? I dont think I can upgrade my PSU because I have a Dell 4500 which has proprietary sockets on the mobo but I do recall reading something about a adapter. If I dont have the power to power it would other cards can I run that are good?6600gt maybe?

you could also buy my 9800pro cough cough that i used with my sony vaio computer which would be like a 205W power supply look in my sig for the link

great. 80 dolalrs for a stupid Dell 350W power supply. If it wasnt a dell the psu would be around what?40 dollars. god **** b/s.

thats why you dont buy dell man, now you learned your lesson and you are going to build your own

hey dont buy the new PSU, because i myself have a dell computer and i'm running the 6800 on the same 250w PSU and it works great for me.

Also i added another harddrive and still running on the same 250w PSU
