So get the 9500PRO insted of the 9700PRO. I really couldn't care less about the price difference, I'm just looking at better-ness haha. Also, what about the nVidia card?
The 9700Pro is alot better for only $30. I would get that. Actually..I did lol

Haha alright then, but what about the nVidia?
I duno..I'm an ATI fan..cuz I like red and not green. Let some other people respond about nvidia and provide some links to benchmarks that compare the 9700Pro to the 5900. I cant find any.

Alright, thanks for your help though!
if you've got the money, go for a radeon 9800 pro (or xt), but they're pretty expensive
