I would have to say Nvidia. I have been using Nvida video cards for 3 years and they work great!

depends on what your looking to do. If your just looking for a nice video card for basic computer use there are tons of cards that are good, but if your a heavy gamer, graphics guy, or into video editing you will want to go with a powerful card or and SLI (two cards working together). You will need a good power supply to feed these hungry cards, and a SLI MB if you want to go that route. I'd also recommend a case with good airflow.

Will it still be okay if I use SLI? I mean, I play Crisis Warhead and those alike. Plus... since you mentioned about that power supply. When I replaced my video card on my other PC it kind of restart most of the time or sometimes it just turn-off automatically.. Do you think its also because I didn't buy a new power supply that could power the video card just enough?

you can never go wrong with ATI and Nvidia. anyone of these two will give you quality performance. I use nvidia on my intel machine and ati on my amd machine. both work wonders for me.
