I have a HP DC7100 Minitower with a standard 340W PS, and I am considering
adding a new videocard.

It seems like a Radeon (Sapphire or Powercolor) X1900GT will satisfy my
gaming needs. Will I have to buy a new PS if I want to use such a card?

The pc also has two harddrives and a DVD-burner.

ATI recommends a 400-Watt power supply or greater, 25 Amps on 12 volt
rail

You may want to hold off until Sept 14.ATI releases the x1900xt
256mb.It's the same as the x1900xt 512mb with half the ram.Higher core
and memory clocks and an increase from 36 to 48 pixel pipes will
greatly incease performance over the x1900gt.Price at introduction is
$279

x1900gt 256mb - 525core 600/1200 memory
x1900xt 256mb - 625core 725/1450 memory
