Here is a link to a power supply calculator:

The result will be the total for the entire system and it will be overestimated because there are a lot of cheap, low quality psu's of questionable performance that people insist on buying.

Corsair, Seasonic, and PC Power & Cooling are all high quality brands that consistently earn high marks in technical reviews and comparisons. They are stable and very reliable. They're the three brands most often recommended by veteran posters at this forum.

Depends. On what kind of PSU that is. If it's one without the 6-pin cable needed for the video card. Most likely no.

There are cable adapters with two 4 pin molex connectors on one end and one 6 pin PCI-e connector on the other end:
