You should be fine as long as you don't have like 10 HDD's and 8 Gig of RAM or something.

Yes it should work unless you have a lot of extra stuff installed, like lot of harddrives, cd/dvd, case fans, lights and so on.

You could use this PSU calculator to find out how many watts your computer will use.
Make sure you have "Power Supply Utilization" set at 100% and your PSU should be able to put out about 100watts more than your result to be on the safe side.

Those calculators tend to be very unreliable and typically measure very high as well. I wouldn't worry though .

Enjoy the new system. The X1950 is an excellent card for the money right now.

eXtreme Power Supply Calculator v2.0 is very reliable, the new beta version can also calculate amperes, OC, GTX Cards etc
