Ok I just ordered a FSP 400w psu and I need help choosing a new gpu... Why is the X1950GT so cheap? It only gets like 4 fps less than the PRO. And Should I get a 7900GS, X1950GT/PRO or 7950GT cause I will get DX10 when the mid end 9000 series comes out.

first the 790 is the best card of all of those, and there is a slight difference between it and the rest, so that shouldnt matter. i would recommend a 8800GTS though.

Sapphire is very good, I'd compare them to eVGA. =] I'd go with the X1950Pro as well, or the X1900GT (which outperforms the X1950GT but costs less)

they have a 2 year warranty which should be enough for you because you said you were just going to make a little upgrade till the  mid end 9000 cards come out and they should be out by then
