hm, usually I like ATI cards more, but most games are better supported by nvidia ones (simply because most game developers work together with nvidia).
which of the nvidia ones to take is hard to say, I doubt there are remarkable differences in the performance, so it's best to check the reviews for the most silent one... :-k
and yeah, I guess 400 W are enough because AMD CPUs are not that hungry as Intel ones, but in the long run you will have to upgrade anyway... :wink:

AMD chipsets kick FUCKING ASS! What he meant by 'you'll have to upgrade anyway' was your PSU the power supply unit, you forgot to list your drives like a DVD/CD-RW drive, USB devices you might get, etc. 400w is basic, cheap charlie :lol:
