Need to buy a new pci express card asap- attempted to boot a new build put graphics card is dead!

Thinking about one of these two as a replacement:

Sapphire ATI Radeon X1300 256MB DDR2 with VAT and postage comes in at around 60 quid but i have to wait till monday.

Ati X550 256mb Ddr Tv/Dvi Pci-E is 55 quid at local store.

Is the Sapphire loads better than the x550? I wont be using it for games just photoshop, 3d studio max and high end audio editting in pro tools-Also does 55 quid seem a resonable price for the sapphire card?
