Hi guys,

Now that we all know the price and the release date for Nvidia's 470 and 480GTX Video Cards. (I will be getting the 470GTX :), 480GTX is out of my budget)

I would like to know what are the manufacturer brands that I need to look out for and why on release date.

Oh almost forgot, will my 650Watt PSU be enough for my current specs and the new 470GTX?

Thanks in advance for your help.
