Basically, the issue is that I really want to play GTA IV, but my PC sucks:
AMD Athlon 64 3000+ Venice
Asus A8N-E Mobo
1 GB PC3200 DDR1 RAM
Asus Geforce 6600 256 MB Vanilla
250 GB Seagate SATA II Harddrive
My dad has been shopping around for a new computer and he is planning to buy this soon

The thing I'm planning to do is to add a video card and possibly get a bit more ram so that I can at least play GTA IV. The thing is, I noticed that this rig only has a 250W PSU (Shocking to me, considering that when I bought my PC a few years back, my 420W PSU was considered to be quite small). Can it handle a new video card (maybe an 8800GT) or will I have to upgrade the PSU as well before I can add anymore stuff to it. Thanks.
