i see nothing about PSU in your specs, but 7600GT is a good card and since your comp is new, it should fit.
 
You have a PCIe X16 slot. Between those cards the 7600GT is the better card. Dont think you will have a problem with that card and the P/S, they dont take to much power.
 
Not enough power, the x1650 are power hungry, the best card you could fit into it would be like a 6600 pci-e lol or at least with that power supply
