Would I need to upgrade?

I have one of those "craptacular" PSUs that I had bought a long time ago without ever really knowing what I was buying. It is the PowMax (Demon) 580W PSU. What I want to know is if it is good enough to run a new graphics card I want to buy.

My System Specs:

AMD Athlon XP 3200
1GB Corsair ValueRAM
ATi Radeon 9800 Pro
1 x SATA HD
1 x ATA HD
1 x DVD rom
1 x CD/RW
1 x FLOPPY DISK DRIVE
4 x Case Fans

Everything running fine now for about a year, but would it be safe to upgrade to an X850XT AGP Card? I'd rather not dish out on a new PSU if I don't have to.

Any feedback much appreciated!
 
You probably don't HAVE to upgrade the PSU, but I would anyway. You never know when it will crap out and take other hardware with it...
