why would you get that Graphics card?
You can get an 512MB 8800GT that is $50 cheaper that is also faster.

Also the FSP AX500 is rated on Peak rather than Continuous wattage.

It is really a 450Watt PSU, not a 500 Watt. Also it has no Power Factor correction

You are probably ok...but I personally would replace that PSU.
 
well the graphic card you are talking about is for PCI express 2.0 ..... and my motherboard has PCI express 1.0 at 16X....... thats why i cant buy it........

PCI-E 2.0 is backwards and forwards compatible with PCI-E v1.x

Contact your motherboard manufacturer and I am sure you will find the G33 chipset will support a PCI-E 2.0 card just fine.

I would say spending the time to contact your motherboard manufacturer is worth it to save money and get better performance.
