Alrighty, well that looks like about three questions or so.
First off, MCE is fine running normal XP drivers, though for video drivers nvidia does list MCE as a seperate choice, so it may be an issue when talking about video drivers (probably for the PVR functionality to work properly, though I don't have firsthand knowledge).

Videocard-wise, in the $300-$350 range you've got three cards to consider:
x1800XT 256mb @ $285
x1800XT 512mb @ $321
7900GT at either $319 or $329 for a card thats clocked higher.

As for your PSU, in my opinion the best bang for your buck is DEFINETLY this Fortron AX450-PN for $50.
