swap out the power supply with a proper one. factory psu's can't handle a new graphics card and the whole system.
go with a corsair, antec, thermaltake, or seasonic psu, preferably in the 400-500w.
ps2: v7 scph-39001 - independence exploit - hdloader 0.8c - maxtor 300gb hdd
(+[__]%) psp slim ta-085v1: 6.60 PRO B10
wii (powered by bootmii/priiloader): 4.1u - d2x v10beta53-alt (base 56) - configurable usb loader v70r51/devolution r188 - wd scorpio black 7200rpm 320gig w/ ams venus ds2 enclosure
got a whole lot more to list . . .

I would strongly suggest you get a new power supply before you use that card. PSU that comes with pre-built systems are very very poor quality.
Look into a corsair, seasonic, antec or any other of the good brands.
Never ever cheap out on your PSU, you will problay regret it.
Search some sites, I'm sure one of the above manufactures will make something to fit your case.

i was able to order a 460 watt power supply, but dont know what card to get now. ati might be a better choice, but nvidia seems to have some quality too.

Well it all depends how much you want to spend, but a ati3870 or nivida 8800gt 512mb are pretty safe bets for a good card.
