Thumbs down Will this stock psu run this weak setup? Advice wanted

Sup...first post...been browsing here for a couple o weeks...

I'm getting a new graphics card for christmas, a 2600 xt gddr4, for use in my computer. since my parents bought it for me, it's a store-bought hp they got for less than $500 i think (maybe $400). its the HP a1744x as stock essentially..except vista home business (pfft) replaced with xp pro. If i add the 2600 xt will it run? btw, if anything, i only play cs 1.6, tf2 when i get it, warcraft III, etc. nothing crysis-like. i think the PSU is 300 or 350w, with i think 19a on 12v rail.

X2 5200
1 GB RAM
1 DVD/CD Drive
Linksys Wireless PCI Card
Ethernet/Modem PCI card??
320 GB HD
currently, Geforce 6150 garbage integrated

If it isn't enough, i'm looking at http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817194015, an enermax 485w with 22a on 2 12v rails. i know thats not 44a, its less, but itd still easily run my setup. im kinda cheap, yea, thats why im not getting a 3850/8800 gt or a pc power&cooling....i'd rather not get a psu now, will have to come out of my no-income pocket. i may end up replacing psu as well as putting a 2x1 GB kit of RAM next year for my bday. advice appreciated.

happy holidays

The stock PSU that come in your system should be fine for GPU that does NOT require external power connector ( HD2600XT, 8600GT, etc. > )

Also give this a second look: http://www.jonnyguru.net/forums/showthread.php?t=1460

It should be plenty for a 2600XT in that system imho.
