I would go for this if it's within your budget. Amazing, silent cooler for not much more money.

If not, then the Sapphire X1950XT is the better choice of the two you selected.

The XT costs about 25% more than the Pro, but runs about 25% faster. Both good cards, so completely up to you.

What res are you gaming at? Also, if you would want to upgrade to a dx10 card later on it might make sense to get a Pro and save some dosh.

Ive got a 19inc inch widescreen screen soooooo........

And i will probably be upgrading to a direct x card but dont know when

Either would be fine. 256MB versions would be fine. How about:-

Ive decided on the XT one looks very nice

This will be alright when i get Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium 64-Bit Edition?

Yup will be fine, a cracking card.

Before you decide on the Sapphire, read THIS

If you can afford it go for THIS one!
