Can I upgrade to a EVGA e-GeForce™ 8800 GTX

I have a XPS 400 with a 7900gs now, but I want to upgrade to the 8800gtx 768 .  Do I need to upgrade my Powersupply?  I've been reading the forums and I see post that you do and post that you don't.  I still have the factory PS which I belive is 375.  If I do, what are some suggestions on a PS to purchase?
 
XPS 400
Windows Vista Home Premium
Intel Pentium D 3.2
2 gigs 667
250 Sata HD
7900 GS

Adding some exhaust fans will take care of the heat, the 2 that you can see thru the window lowered my GTS temps by 10 degree's, the one in the side panel brought the temps down 3 more degree's. I had a pci slot fan and it did work some, but was louder than I cared for.

Nice!
 
Those are 92mm fans? Or smaller?
Was it easy to install on the grid?
 
Thanks!

DotMatrix,
   So you play Flight Simulator X?  That is also what I play, and is the main reason for upgrading my PC with the 8800gts.  You have the 8800gtx, so its more powerful than mine, so tell me what frame rates you are getting at what settings?  I have my settings set around medium high and I still cant get the performance I want.  What about you?  I wonder if I should get the GTX.  Tell me about the performance on your PC with FSX and also what is your 3DMark score?
