Definitely get the GTX 285. You're PSU should be okay as long as you shuffle the rails properly. That card is slightly faster than my 8800GTX SLI setup. I used to use these cards paired with an FX-60 at 2.75ghz. There is a slight CPU hit in games like WiC, WoW, and other RTSes where the CPU is more important than GPU power. In games like COD4 I could scale really well as they are very GPU demanding. If you're planning on running 1920 x 1200 with AA / AF then without a doubt you'll be able to utilize most of that card even on your opty.
