upgrade video card in Dell 8400

My son wants an upgraded video card so he can play Oblivion. Currently he has the original ATI X300. Anyone forsee any problems putting the X1600XT in?

This is what I was thinking of getting:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814102657

Budget is $150 - 175.

I have also attached a Berlarc Adv summary for his computer, in case that helps...

Thanks!

Should not be a problem. I put a X600 Pro All-in-Wonder in a 8400 for a customer and the stock PSU handles it just fine.
