Being that your mobo has Nvidia chipsets, I would opt for the Nvidia card. this is only hearsay, nividia chipset mobos work best with nvidia cards.

Now, depending on who you talk to, either of those cards are good enough for what you want to do and with the rig you have

You can use an ATI card on an nforce motherboard, just can't crossfire them, so a single one should run fine - though because it's an Nvidia motherboard, I'd just go for an Nvidia card too :p
