Brought XFX geforce7300 GT DDR-II dual dvi-pls help me some doubts

I am yet to install my card thought to share with forum friends,
I got exactly what the below link shows: a PCI-Express XFX Geforce 7300 GT with dual DVi.
*xfxforce.com/web/product/listConfigurationDetails.jspa?series=GeForce%26trade%3B+7300&productConfigurationId=303568
*www.hexus.net/content/item.php?item=6765&page=2
I got this card for Rs3950+100=RS4150.is it too high or low:p
1) I checked the card legs(or pins) and found that some pins are not pointed;its like cut off or shortened by someone.to be precise, from the rear look the last pin on right side:

and
from frontal view the second last pin on the right side looks damaged:confused:

but when i saw the pics from above site,it shows the same pins shortened as with mine.Is it OK.what will be the reason
2)I have a Zebronics 400W PSU already in my system.will it be enough for my card.
3) the card doesnot have a cooling fan,but a big black heat sink is there.what about the heating habits of this card.
Thank You.I brought Nvidia chipset card in particular due to AMD(Ati)'s poor Linux driver support.waiting for answers :-|

Do download the latest nvidia drivers. 7300GT supports openGL 2.0 so I guess, you can make full use of it in Linux.

Pins are fine, just plug it in. At max, in case of some problem your computer won't boot. Make sure u plug the extra power cable if any.

I am also interested in buying the same model :) thats the reason i asked. link. I think the price is reasonable. After you start using you brand new GFX card,please let us know about the performance and specially the TV Out quality.
