    If you're looking for high power go with nVidia
    If you're looking for low power usage go with ATI
    And considering that you're getting a 750 watt PSU, I'd say go with an nVidia GTX 480.
    However if you really do want to get ATI, get a 5800 series preferably 5870.

    Also, on't get a 1.5 TB hard drive, you'll never use a quarter of it.

    Looking at the future the 5800 series aren't that good of a choise. dx11 support is way better on the newer cards.

    I'd never use nVidia in an entertainment-forcused PC. For a pure gaming machine, maybe yes.

    And most of that 1.5TB HDD will be taken up by pirated games and BluRays.

    I used up almost 900GB on an old external hard-drive before.

    Your TV/monitor seems to be a bit low on the resolution, there, Would be a let down for that system. Running games at only 1366 x 768 max?

    You can get 26" screens with full HD res now 1920x1080.

    Samsung T260HD 26" 1920 x 1080 5ms 1000:1 HDMI HDTV

    The Samsung is 1080p, so it should run max res for most games fine.
    It'll be hooked to a 40" while it's not being used for just general web stuffs (pron)
