yeah but the 6600GT is already more powerful than the 9800 in most aspects so you'd have to OC that 9800 pro up a little before matching the performance, and then you'd be able to OC the 6600GT which would lead you to have the OC the 9800 much further to compensate for the OC of the 6600GT which in turn the GDDR3 memory will still be able to OC further than the GDDR2 memory on the 9800 pro according to most articles and reviews I've read regarding GDDR3 memory.
So in the end I still think the 6600GT would be the wisest choice.
Concerning the power supply, you would need to upgrade the PSU eventually anyway and likes been said you can get one to serve your needs for like $50. The PSU is after all the 'life giver' if you will to the system so why keep updating hardware that could be not getting sufficient power for efficient usage
