Hero is correct in that you don't want to skimp out on the PSU. If you overload it, it can take out other parts with it when it dies.

An 8600 doesn't pull much power, so of course it's fine on a 300w. There are other things to take into account besides whether or not it simply works with that 8600. If it's too hard of a load it may drastically reduce the lifespan of the PSU, may cause instability, and you may be operating well outside the efficiency range of the PSU and pulling a ton of power from the wall.

Generally speaking, a mid-range to upper mid-range card on a quality 400w PSU should be just fine, provided that most of the power is on the 12v rail(s). I would not recommend running an aftermarket video card on a 300w PSU unless it's lower end card.

...it is a big difference. GDDR3 can be clocked at about twice the effective speed of GDDR2, and thus increased memory bandwidth and higher performance. 512MB is more than enough for most resolutions, although the 128-bit bus will probably end up being the bottleneck, for both the GDDR2 and GDDR3 versions.
