I already have the following config:
AMD athlon 64 3500+
Asus A8N-E
1GB(512x2)DDR 400
XFX GeForce 6600GT
Antec SonataII cabinet with 350w smps(or 400w dont remember)

and now i am planning to buy a new graphic card nd need help whether i should buy an 7900/7950/8600Gt card considering my config and the power supply can it support any of these cards or need to get new PSU?
And i am willing to spend about $150-$200

XFX PVT84JUDD3 GeForce 8600GT
BFG Tech BFGR7950256GTOCE GeForce 7950GT
BFG Tech BFGR79256GSOCE GeForce 7900GS
XFX PVT84GUDF3 GeForce 8600GTS

Again,my main query is about the power supply and cooling

XFX 8600GT is up for 6.6k now and is a good card. Very gud value for money. I think u can't fully utilize the power of cards like 8600GTS or 7950GT coz of ur single core proocy.

If u go for an 8600GT then no need for another PSU.

U can utilize ur proccy to its full by ocing it to some 3+ Ghz.
u can try getting this for that

For cooling of card, 8600GT is a cool card and u will never need extra cooling even if u oc it to extreme limits.

Are any games bundled with the 8600GT series cards?
