Show me your motherboard? Basically it will, but I need to see full specs and other parts also.

What are your full system specs?(CPU,RAM,etc.)

What is the make/model of your PSU?

Technically if the motherboard supports a 8800GTS it will support a GTX560ti but their's much more to it than just compatibility.Since the card is very old I can only assume that the PC is the same which may hinder the GTX560ti.

Oh that is bad then.

p35 should be fine. But as long as your PSU is a decent brand that has an output of 500W, you will be fine I think.

Yah this is pointless if we don't know anything about the PSU.Their should be a chart on the back of the PSU that has detailed information about it.Post back what you see.

to answer the original question as long as you have an alright power supply, then yes, you should have no problems upgrading to the 560ti

afew things to keep in mind, the 560ti is a bit larger than the 8800, so make sure you have enough room within your case to encompass the larger card and keep in mind that the power ports on the 560ti are at the back not the top so that is an additional bit of space that you will need to account for
