Your PSU is not the greatest and it is hard to recommend anything that needs extra power from it 9800GTX req 26amps on the +12 volt rail you have only 19amps.
Cards that most likely will run on your psu are HD4670 or GF GT240. Anything more powerful is a gamble. Take a look at this http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/best-graphics-card,2464-8.html
And here is a test of the GT240 since it is not included in the other link. http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/geforce-gt-240,2475.html

Forget it! That's gonna fry your PC! Get VX450W. End of story!

That is a very very shitty PSU.
Don't think about adding any card.
If your budget is small then get Corsair CX400 or Gigabyte Superb 460w minimum.

They should work with 9800GTX.
