What card? 500w Limit?

To be honest, if it is an Antec TruePower, you don't have nothing to worry about with a GTX560Ti.

At medium settings it will be playable without a problem, and should handle 3D just fine, however if you're opting for multi display I'd recommended the 2GB 6950 as at that price range it supports dual/triple monitor displays much better, but then again nvidia have better 3d support. As mentioned before in this post though, GTX560's in SLI further down the line will be very very powerful.

Awesome thanks :) I guess I'll buy just the one soon then, then later down the line get a second :D Thanks, Also... I can't stand Multi Screen :p Apart from the fact I can't actually afford them haha ;) :D

Edit: Also, Would 2 PSU's work? :)

You can do 3d on an ATI card.

You will need a 3D TV or monitor that has an inbuilt IR sensor and comes with glasses. I'm not sure how these compare the Nvidia's current solution but it appears to be harder and way less universal which puts me off it tbh. Its the only strong reason for me choosing Nvidia over AMD.

True I'm afraid, AMD's implementation of 3d is embryonic at this, far better support for the nvidia kit atm. If you don't mind dropping a few settings bc2 should run ok in 3d. If you intend to game heavily in 3d though and don't want to forgo eye candy I would suggest waiting until you have the money for both a better card and a new PSU

Money isn't really a problem, I just don't like wasting it as I already bought the 500w PSu about a week ago and can't return it, Also.. It is the only one I could find to fit exactly with out cutting or modifying the case. (I have an Antec Basiq BP500U)
 
Right so I've just realised my Powermac mod has failed... Ordering a NZXT Vulcan , and will probably get an 850w PSU ( is that enough ?) with a 480 :D What really convinced me was videobenchmarks.com (I think) where the 480 is second and for cheaper than the 560 ti wayy down there :p thanks everyone who helped :)
