If your power supply is made by a good manufacturer, then yes.

That really doesn't say much imo.
How about if I add a link? http://www.bfgtech.com/bfgr650wpsu.aspx

Can that psu run The card or better that I listed in the first post?

BFG is well known for their video cards, not their power supplies. But assuming your PSU is capable of what it's rated for (at a normal operating temperatures), then it should run the 8800GTX. A high-end system with that card won't draw that much power anyways (probably <400W), but it's good to leave some room for comfort. If it's not giving you any problems right now, then give the 8800GTX a try.
