Video cards alternatives

I'm looking at a couple of PCs from HP and Dell and I'm confused on what I need as a video card. The alternatives are :
- 256MB nVidia Geforce 7300LE TurboCache
- 256MB nVidia Geforce 7500LE
- 256MB ATI Radeon X1300 Pro
- 256MB nVidia Geforce 7900GS

Knowing that I absolutely never play, that my daughter is only 2 so won't play in the near future but that I use my PC mainly for Photoshop and other photo softwares, which one would you pick ?

I tried to read and understand the reviews on this website but it's way over my head.

Thanks !
 
I'd just go with the cheapest one. Any of those will run any children's games your daughter might want to play, and Photoshop isn't really graphics card-related in terms of performance. Faster CPU and more memory will help Photoshop more. The graphics card is mostly for 3D applications and games. Check out the features of each card though, as you may find that one supports dual monitors while another doesn't, or VIVO for recording from video/cable devices.
 
You are absolutely right, I forgot to add that I'll have 2 monitors. I'll try to gather info on these cards to see if they have dual DVI ports.
