I have to choose between these 2 cards on my 500W PSU which got 2 v12 rails with 20 amps on each one. I know AMD cards are more power hungry and hotter. I got i3 3220 in my rig plan to upgrade to i5 3570 later but for now which card is better pair to avoid incoming problems such as PSU upgrade,PSU fail...

also you want at least two case fans: one blowing air out the back or top, and one blowing air into the case from the front
