Like Broseph Stalin, you are leading the way to the dictatorship of the broletariate. It is truly revbrolutionary. Like the Bro v. Wade of our generation. You brobliterate the enemy from the very peak of Mt. Brolympus. That's some shit. That's brolific. But that's the kind of bro you are.

Even if it is 450 watt you should be fine, the only thing is you need to be sure your power supply has a power connection for PCI-express.

Pictured here: http://www.techaddicts.net/reviews/neob650/neob6513.jpg

If not there are adapters from molex connectors like so: http://www.overclockers.co.nz/product/cables/6PCIE-BK-B.jpg

450-watt would be absolute minimum or you will blow the fuse in your PSU and essentially render it useless unless you like to sauder.

The previous statement applies to all new graphics cards.

The technique used for Anti-Aliasing in the Radeon is far superior to that of the now over a year old 8800GT which means you can crank those settings up to max and not suffer even close to the performance loss.

Also not to mention the Radeon supports the latest standards etc.

Going for new you want the Radeon, going for just better performance in WoW only, go for the Geforce, but get one used on E-bay for 50 bucks or something.

Hell if you really don't care I'll sell you my old Geforce 8800GT 512mb that has 2 months of use because I really feel it's a total waste to buy one brand new and right now it's just rotting in my basement in it's box.
