What's a good video card for Photoshop?

[alans17]

I don't game on my computer or do any CAD or design work, but it's possible (if not likely) that I will be doing some Photoshop work on it. I understand that Photoshop now takes advantage of some of the advanced features of modern discrete video cards. What would be a good video card for Photoshop? I don't need the latest and greatest, but I would like something that will show some definite benefit. Price is a factor. The max I can spend is $250, but if I can get something that works for less than that, it would be much better.

EDIT: One more thing. The case I intend to use will only fit cards that are 10" long or shorter.

For this price I would suggest you a GTX 560 Ti.
Or this GTX 570.

What about this one? It's $250 after rebate:

Newegg.com - EVGA SuperClocked 012-P3-1572-AR GeForce GTX 570 (Fermi) 1280MB 320-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card

It seems to barely nudge out the GTX 570 above in terms of specs, but I know NOTHING about video cards.

I just found someone selling a used 27" LED Cinema Display on craigslist for $700. It's not an awesome price, but it's good enough. I know there are the cheaper Korean monitors, but this one is proven, and it will work well with whatever video card I ultimately decide on.

I have linked the same... but no problem.

Did you? WHOOPS! I'm also seeing that these cards all require a LOT of power. The power supply I'm looking at using this 450W SFX PSU:

Newegg.com - SILVERSTONE ST45SF 450W SFX12V 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC Power Supply

I have to use an SFX form factor PSU because the case I've chosen. More info on it can be found here:

SilverStone Technology Co., Ltd.- ST45SF

It meets all of the specs except for total wattage. Am I going to have a problem?

I have a Cinema Display 27 inch too and have a Radeon HD 6870 from XFX, because it has Mini-DisplayPort and I don't need a adapter or such.
For you chosen GTX 570 you would need a mini-HDMI to Mini-DisplayPort or DVI to Mini-DisplayPort Adapter. Don't know if one of each exists.

Good to note! Honestly, the less I can pay, the better. We'll see how this all plays out. That monitor is a serious chunk of change and will almost certainly set me back on other parts of my build.
