I "think" you'll be ok, but I honestly would suggest getting at least a 500W (Enermax Liberty or FSP Fortron) to run that 1900xt...they are a bit more power hungry than nvidia cards. But if you have instabilities, you'll know what it is.

How about Antec SP500?

Asus is overpriced on most cards, and Leadtek isn't one of the top-tier brands. MSI may not be as bad as some make it out to be, as my parents have owned a passively cooled MSI FX5200 for nearly 3 years now with no problems. Go for the XFX if you can, as it will likely be able to be OC'd higher than the other cards. If you are not into OCing at all, you could consider one of the other brands.

How do you figure this? LeadTek sure as hell has been around longer than BFG, XFX and EVGA. They are nVidia's most loyal board partner since ASUS and MSI decided to start selling ATi stuff.

I have had two LeadTek cards, one MSI, one BFG and one ASUS. All were great.

Out of the four that you mentioned, LeadTek is the winner.

In my experience, the only difference between NVIDIA brands is clock speeds and the sticker/graphics on the HSF. The differences are even fewer with ATI.

I'd go with the card with the best warranty.

Get the cheapest.
