I wouldn't trust the PSU in that case - the price is just too low for it to be any more than a token PSU. The 350w Fortron PSU in the recommended list below the description in the link (hope its there for you) is probably a better PSU. Antec, Fortron, Enermax, OCZ are all better PSU's. For that system 400w would be plenty and give you headroom in case you need to upgrade.

Downgrade the CPU to a 3200+ and get This 6800GS. It will give you better frame rates longer in new games - the 6800XT is really a 'lite' version of a plain 6800, so its almost better to get a 6600GT if you want more CPU than video card - but for games the video card is now the bottleneck when you turn up resolutions and image quality. Its kindof a personal preference choice - if gaming isn't that important get the lower end video card and a higher end CPU, but if games are the purpose get more video card - it'll make more difference.
