Thanks. But I don't get it—my power supply is 550W, so why would this 500W one be any better? BTW thanks.

GPU Buying Guide - (Read first post)

So, I've been rocking an ATI Radeon HD 3870 X2, but it's finally time for an upgrade. I built a new PC about a month and a half ago, but I didn't have the cash for a decent GPU back then, so I skipped it. Now that I've saved up some money, I'm looking to grab a new card and could use some help. Check Newegg or Micro Center.
My current PC build:
CPU-AMD Phenom II X4 3.6 GHz with ASUS 990FX Motherboard
Motherboard-ASRock 990FX Extreme3
RAM-DDR3 1600 (4 GB)
HDD-WD Caviar Blue 500 GB
Case-Thermaltake Commander MS-I
PSU-Microsoft 550W
GPU-ATI Radeon HD 3870 X2
Listed some extra stuff that doesn't really matter.
I've got about $500 (max. $567) maybe $40-$17 whatever.
Not sure if ATI or NVIDIA is better.
Personally, I feel like ATI is the way to go.

Which mousepad should I get?

I'm looking for a mousepad that works for both high and low DPI (if that's even a thing), honestly I don't know much about PC gear... I've got about 100-$67..

Yo, I'm new here and have been stuck on one question for a while now.
I'm a gamer, so obviously my mouse matters—but honestly, isn't the mousepad just as important?
Up until now, I’ve been using some Logitech wireless junk (wasn't even cheap, either) and a dictionary as a mousepad, which somehow worked. Now I'm looking to upgrade and decided on the Razer DeathAdder. I wanted to grab a matching mousepad from the same brand, but they seem impossible to find online—they used to be at Best Buy, but now they're gone. So, can I pair this mouse with a Razer mousepad? Or am I forced to buy both from the same brand to make them work together?
PS: I'm set on getting the Guardian, so let me know which pad combos actually work well with it..
Thanks in advance, and sorry for the "essay."
