Carol Haynes:
Having used ATI for years and recently moved to nVidia I would recommend nVidia simply because their drivers play much more nicely. In the future I will only use ATI cards with ATI base motherboards.

again,
for the record, they got 8.2 out of 10 in 420 customer reviews at schottenland.de -
so I hope to join the satisfied customer ranks soon :)

EDIT: in case anyone does want to order there - just to let you know only payment options are credit-transfer in advance or COD which might not be available outside germany

f0dder:
I've never been too fond of in-advance transfers, a lot of people lost money when half the computer stores in my old town went bankrupt. COD is nice enough, although it usually has a fee...

Anyway, hope the system is going to suit your needs - apparently you won't be assembling it yourself, otherwise I'd have ordered :D you to take pictures of the process.

Lashiec:
Well, late as always. You could have go either with ATI or nVidia, I had used the two brands, and no problems at all. The cooling factor is depending on the manufacturer of the card as well. Anyway, good thing you opted for a passive one, as the smaller cards tend to have smaller fans, and smaller fans -> bigger noise :)

EDIT: I almost forgot. Don't forget about loading that thing with fans (I remember you said you were going to do it, but just as a reminder ;)). Passive cards can get VERY hot, although Asus had some really good passive models, that got lower temps than actively cooled ones.

mouser:
looks like a good computer, congratulations  :up:
