Need advice on video card

I am planning a new system. It will be used for several different
tasks. Specifically, I will be using Photoshop and Premiere Pro. I
also will be using Dragon Naturally Speaking (voice recognition) all of
the time.

I want the best video card I can get but I am not sure...

The two that I have heard the most about at the high end (sticking with
nVidia) would be the geForce 7900 and the Quadro 4500. The Quadro is
much more expensive. I understand that is supports dual link x2 but
other than that, what is the better card and why?

for background, the tentitive plan for the PC is:
Dual AMD Opteron (dual core) processors
4 GB DDR 400 ram
Anyone with a recomendation for motherboards, cases, cooling, power
supplies, etc feel free to chime in. I can use all the info I can
get.

Thanks,
Jeff
