If your power supply is made by a good manufacturer, then yes.

That really doesn't say much imo.
How about if I add a link? http://www.bfgtech.com/bfgr650wpsu.aspx

Can that psu run The card or better that I listed in the first post?

Thanks to all that respond

BFG is well known for their video cards, not their power supplies. But assuming your PSU is capable of what it's rated for (at a normal operating temperatures), then it should run the 8800GTX. A high-end system with that card won't draw that much power anyways (probably <400W), but it's good to leave some room for comfort. If it's not giving you any problems right now, then give the 8800GTX a try.
