My video card is broken, so I'm taking the opportunity to get a new one. I'll also need a new power supply for anything good. I'm thinking
this and
this. Thoughts?
You can save a few bucks with the
512mb 250 if you want (how many times can nVidia retrofit the 8800?) and Thermaltake is always good for a PSU, so looks fine.
If you want to save some cash, there's a deal on the ATI 4850 that puts it at like 90 bucks. It's roughly the same as the 250, a bit older and a bit hotter, but if you want to save the 50 bucks definitely worth it. If not, decent choices, you can find a cheaper 500W PSU though.

So it's the processor/mobo that are borked, not the video card. Another $200 down the drain. And now my mom wants me to sell the new video card.

HAHAHAHAHA YOU'RE STUPID!
What kind of CPU/mobo do you have? And what exactly is wrong, sort of strange you'd leap from GPU to CPU/Mobo...
