Purchased a new PC with Win 7 and the ATI card in the title - my old PC has the Nvidia card in the title. The new PC only has a 350 watt PSU. Is the Nvidia better? Will the 350 Watt PSU be enough? Or should I look at something different all together?

Any guidance is appreciated.
 
Solution
The 8800GTS 640 is significantly better but also beyond the scope of that psu.
What it can use depends highly on the brand of the PSU and amperage on the +12v rail.
