Nono, a 7900GT chip consumes under 100% load ~90W.
Plus that CPU that has a TDP of 95W and the usual shit like Ram, LEDs, HDD etc i think a good 400W power supply is wayyy ENOUGH and still has lots of free space if you want to upgrade a more hungry videocard some time.
PS: Make sure you dont buy crappy power supplies that die out after several weeks, good manufacturers are OCZ, Corsair, Enermax and BeQuiet.
