I dunno. I have a 450W PSU too, but I doubt it's powerful enough for the 8800GT. With current systems, you need a lot of watts at the 12V lines; older PSU's simply don't have that.
The Antec Sonata has a 120mm fan in the back, which should get you more than enough cooling. Side openings aren't that important, as long as there's enough airflow from front to back.
