Don't worry, that card will work fine with a 220W PSU and the current hardware you have listed, you still have plenty overhead.
Forget that anadtech review posted by dan1son, they were using a GTX 280, that's why the consumption in the review is so high, your system will be currently well below 100W (more like 60-70).

Hi,
I have an Acer Aspire X1300 Desktop PC which has the following specs:
AMD Athlon X2
3GB Ram
NVidia GeForce 8200 Integrated Graphics
PCU says "Continuous power" 220W
It has a PCI Express 2.0 x16 Slot (Low Profile)
I'm trying to upgrade the graphics card in it, I've just got a Gigabyte 8400 GS Low Profile card but it's saying recondmened power of 300W.
I've read lots on the Internet and most people seem to say that these will run fine on 220W.
Does anyone know if it will or not before I install it or send it back!!!!
Many Thanks.
