you will need another PSU to run a GTX260 in there, that is unavoidable.

gtx 260 requirements:
Minimum of a 500 Watt power supply.
(Minimum recommended power supply with +12 Volt current rating of 36 Amp Amps.)
Two available 6-pin Molex hard drive power dongles

ideas = put card aside, buy new power supply

yes, you have a pci-e x16 slot, which is what is uses, so other than power you're golden.

I wouldnt be too happy yet, as we dont know if you have enough room in your case , i read the reviews on newegg and many people had trouble not having enough room in there case for the length of the card
so make sure and measure the inside of the case near the pci-express slot and see if anything sticks out near the slot,like a hardrive cage.
