All in all, seems like my original setup isn't as lacking as I thought. Any other recommendations on a mouse? I like the concept of having seven buttons within easy reach. My cousin has one for his rig and it proved invaluable when he went through Doom III.

Well some higher wattage PSUs make more efficient use of the power given, that's about it. If all your components can run without shutting down or behaving weirdly, then the PSU you currently have is fine.
It looks like on Newegg you can snag a GeForce 7600GS for $129-$135 and a more recommended 7600GT for $179-$212. Ax the RAM, and you can easily fit this into your budget. If you went on the high-end, get a 7900GT, it's extremely close to the performance of a 7800/7900GTX and much cheaper.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
