Opinions and recommendations on prospective build...

OK I hope this is the right thread for this. I've been trying to compile data and squeeze everything I can out of the $1000.00 I have to spend. Here's the current shopping list:

Video Card
(I will get one of these, I'm leaning towards the Zotac)

Nvidia

GIGABYTE GV-N450OC-1GI

ZOTAC ZT-40503-10L

ATI

XFX HD-575X-ZNFC

HIS H675F1GD

Question here... Is ATI going to work better with an AMD processor because its all the same company? Alternatively which is a card with a better track record of quality for someone like me who doesn't overclock or do anything stupid with it, Gigabyte, XFX or Zotec? Moving on...

I just need to know if the hardware I have here is compatible and a good choice considering my budget. Recommendations and advice welcome. Opinions like Intel or ATI are better are not. You can certainly prove why you think something is better by cutting my costs down a hundred bucks or so while leaving me with the same or better performance, but otherwise I'm just after facts here.

I want to be able to run ArchiCAD, UDX (The Unreal Development Kit), UT3 and Unity 3D. I use Photoshop and 3DS Max a lot. I would like to be able to make screencast tutorials to share on my YouTube channel. I will be running a triple-boot OS: Windows 7 (for games and apps 2010+), Windows XP SP3 (for games and apps 2000-2010) and Windows 2000 (for games and apps 1990-2000).

Your help is appreciated -

It actually belongs in General Hardware, but no biggie.

It IS preferable if, instead of posting links, you just list the hardware.

Also...while that AZZA power supply isn't one I'd personally choose, it's a SuperFlower build, so it SHOULD do the trick with no problems. I prefer the SeaSonic based PSU's for my builds.
