Video card upgrade on older Compaq

When it comes to computers I am sort of like some women and cars..if you turn it on and it goes, great! I have a 5yr old or so Compaq EVO 500 P4 1.7 slim line with the original video card intact. I'm not a gamer and would like to install a new card but I believe there is a correlation between your power supply and the size of the card, is there not? I would like to upgrade to a 128MB AGP card but my power supply max output is only 175watts. Will my system support this for simple everyday use and maybe the odd strategy game? Would appreciate knowing before I drop the $$.
