Default Video Cards That are cheapgood

I am making a new computer on a pretty tight budget around 1000 canadian. I just got a 24' dell monitor for $450. The rest of my computer is (running XP)

Cool Master Mid-Tower - 49.99
Gigabyte GA-MA69VM - 70.99
AMD 64 X2 4400+ - 97.99
OCZ 800mhz 2GB - 59.99
Hitachi 320GB - 77.99

So I need to get a cheap good video card. Basically all I want to be able to do is play Counter Strike Source at High graphics level. I've basically narrowed it down to three different cards:

XFX GeForce 8600GT 540Mhz) 256MB (1.4Ghz) -- 126.99

-------or--------

Sapphire ATI Radeon X1950 GT 256MB - 128.99
http://www.canadacomputers.com/index.php...cid=999.243.272


So I don't know what to do, Do i go with the Geforce or the ATI? I also heard that ATI works better with an AMD processor, might just be a rumour. also the Geforce has Dx10 support but since i only really want to play one game that isn't Dx10 it shouldn't matter right? Any help/recommendations would be awsome...thanks a lot.

(i live in canada and can't use newegg.com oh and i was planning on buying this today)
