So I've got an Antec 300W power supply and I'm thinking of upgrading my video card...

Right now I'm running

Athlon XP 2500+ @ (166x11)
512 MB RAM @ PC2700
GeForce 2 Pro (At stock speeds)
Pioneer DVD-106S
Plextor PlexWriter 16x10x40A
40 GB 7200 RPM Maxtor HD
120 GB 7200 RPM Seagate HD
Sound Blaster Audigy 2 Gamer ZS
Two NICs (DFE 530 TX+ and NetGear FA312)

all on the Antec 300W PSU that came with my case.

I'm thinking of going with an X800 Pro or (I weep for my PSU when I think about this) a 6800 GT... Is there any hope? Any hope at all? It would be nice not to have to shell out an additional $80 - $100 for a new PSU when I'm already going to be spending ~$375 on a video card.
 
It may run, but it's really pushing it. Not that I have room to talk since I'm using a 350W for mine, when I should probably be using a bigger PSU.

I'm with stevty2889 on this ..it may run all that but you pushing it ..you can buy splitters to do molex to whatever pretty much but you should consider moving up..
