EDIT: Nevermind. I have another option. I forgot that the PSU in the system I have now was used out of convenience, but that I have another one, that is actually newer that was powering an older machine, and it does have the connectors I need. Silly me.
So I did get a new mobo/processor/memory as well. They are installed and happy.
The video card though wants a 6 pin external power line. My PSU doesn't have one of these. So I'm running with the old 7600GT right now. The question is are there adapters from the 4 pin lines that I can use here or am I looking at a new PSU as well?
I'll start my own research here as well because I'd like to know if the video card is good sooner rather than later of course.

I may be accelerating the whole process (by dipping into savings).

It's all just zeroes and ones and duct tape in the end.
