The default power supply unit (PSU) in your G6-400 will almost certainly provide enough power for your upgrades. I haven't had to replace the one I'm using, but I did need to add a fan to the back of the unit. The 1,000 MHz processor was generating more heat than the default heatsink and PSU fan was providing. I recommend getting the retail version of the processor so it has an integrated heatsink and fan. Make the new fan blow inwards onto the processor. That air will pass over the processor and heat up, rising into the PSU's fan. That air will then blow out of the computer and rise away from the lower fan. It works pretty good for me.
If, for some reason, your PSU can't handle the load, you can purchase a more powerful, better cooling, and more efficient one from PC Power & Cooling. You may be tempted by the prices of generic units, but the PC Power & Cooling unit is a far more solid piece of equipment.
