I have found a cheap Nvidia 8800GTX (768mb) on the internet (its brand new) and I have found out that in theory my pc should handle it (its PCI Express) if I get a stronger power source.

I need advice on a good power source to get and if I will need a new case or anything else.

---Current PC---
My current pc is a standard HP Pavilion Elite m9090a

Have the exact same computer and found that if you want to upgrade the graphics card your going to need to upgrade the power supply and while doing so found out that its not a normal sized psu its like a mini something or rather and the only one i could find over 450w was through hp and it was an arm and a leg. In the long run if you want you could stick everything in a new case. Thats what I was considering doing till I gave the computer to my mom and built my own.
