Where did you get the idea that a 8800 GTS required 26 A X 12 V = 312
Watts? A 350 Watt supply is very likely to be all that is needed for his
ENTIRE system.

Where exactly are you getting stuck?

Looking up your board, it appears you have an Micro ATX integrated board
with a single PCI-E 16x slot. So barring any case obstructions, are you
able to fit it in the slot? You have to slide over that white locking tab
first you know. Be sure it's fully seated, you cannot have it touching
hard dries and what not and being shoved up out of the slot.

Next lock the tab back, screw in the card, and connect one PCI-E 6-pin
power lead from your PSU to the connector on the card. This is CRITICAL
for an 8800 GTS (320/640/512MB). Now power up, install your drivers and
get going!

You can safely use NVidia's latest Geforce driver instead of your
manufacturers'. They are in fact, mostly the same. If you experience
problems with lockups and blue screens, it's likely you have an inadequate
PSU (common with smaller systems like you might have).

for the system. This should be marked clearly on a label on the side of
