Im in the market for a new PC, I was wondering should I get a 7900GS or an ATI X1950 PRO, I'll definately be getting Vista with my new PC so is it worth waiting for cheaper DX10 cards an 8600GT or something?

Those two cards are about equal but i'd say get an evga 7900GS because then you could use their step up program to upgrade to a DX10 graphics card.

The x1950 pro is slightly better, I would get that, and ati has better drivers, you can only do evga step up, for the same series.

Thanks for the help Im edging toward the X1950, I also have a PSU question, the PSU that Im planning on getting has dual 12 volt rails rated at 19A and 18A. The PSU requirement for the X1950PRO is 30A on the 12v rail, am I screwed or can the 30A be achieved by adding the combined power of both rails this is probably a silly question but this is the first time Ive ever had a proper gaming PC made and I want to get it right :P Thanks again.
