Alright, soooooooooooooooooooooooo, I have this pc.

HP Pavilion a6807c

Intel Dual Cpu E2220 2.4GHz
5 Gb Ram Ddr2
450 GB HardDrive
Intel Gma 3100 (graphics card, which im upgrading to 9800gtx)
300 Wattage

I'm getting a Nvidia 9800gtx, and i'm wondering how much watts will i need to upgrade to? :)

And will the 9800gtx bottleneck anything?

well the 9800gtx is fairly ,dated, how much are you paying for it? but for that you'd want something like a corsair cx-500 i think, not sure about the 9800gtx, might even be able to get by on a cx-430

If I'm not mistaken, that card calls for 300w. So even a decent 350 would work. A little extra doesn't hurt though.

Edit: No, it's 400w. I'd hit up a 500w to be on the safe side. Keep in mind, that 400 needs to come solely off the 12v rail.
