Video Card Shopping

So I was just over in the gaming section and Wrench helped me out finding a good PSU for a nice graphics card I found. But after some debate I've decided that I don't really need a 768MB graphics card, and therefore if I downgrade to a 512MB card hopefully I can downgrade the PSU as well (thanks for the help, Wrench, but I've decided to downgrade).

Any recommendations for a low-end, fairly inexpensive 512MB card. I will probably be playing WoW and Sims 3 when it comes out. Plus I use Dreamweaver and Fireworks a lot.

Re: Video Card Shopping

Anyone recommend this one? And if so, how much power do you think I need?
