Im busy building a computer and I need to select a video card. I have been looking at the ATI AIW 8500DV, 9000pro, and 9700. I do not play video games. However, I do intend on using my computer for tv,dvd,vhs. I will be burning dvds, vhs, and using my computer like tivo. Of these video cards which should i go with? I know that the 9700 is the best, but I would rather not spend the extra $$$ on it. Will the 8500 or 9000 satisfy my needs? Also, are there any other video card company products you recommend me looking at?

AIW 8500DV should do just fine. Powerful enough to play games if you wanted to.
