With 9 fans I figure the ole 1200 can keep it from combustion. (Chose Nvidia for better AA performance at medium resolutions, and at $520 it was far cheaper than the 5970 and I am a single graphics card guy) http://www.evga.com/products/moreInfo.asp?pn=015-P3-1485-AR&family=GeForce%20400%20Series%20Family

The main reasons being a good price, and the fact that it doesn't use as much power as most of the equivalent Nvidia cards (I have 530W PSU salvaged from my last PC), and I'm very happy with it's performance in all the games I've tried so far. I see no reason for me to think about getting an Nvidia card right now, I don't even find the idea of PhysX or 3D that enticing to be honest. I just bought a ATI 5770 for my new PC.
