Both cards have minimum power requirements 400w.

There's a good comparison of the 9600GT and a few other cards including the 8800GT here
If you just want the conclusion see here

You're welcome m8y .... when you replace the PSU ... have a look at the Corsair range, as recommended by Carbon .... they are very good value for a quality module.
