Where are you from? I'm guessing that you could fit a better GPU in that package, especially for your use.

eg: 4850, 113€

Do you also have an OS?

I am from Serbia.
Hm, 512MB. So you think that I should take ATI?
I am not so sure about Saphire. Maybe Gainward?
And yes I have the OS.

^Well both ATI and Nvidia cards work nicely with the CS4...
And the performance of a 1GB 9800GT and a 512MB 4830 would be nearly same...
So get which ever is cheaper...
If you are able to get your hands on the new ATI 4770, then that would be a good choice...
And get a 4GB kit if possible as the CS4, , 3ds Max, After effect, Maya would work better with 4GB RAM...

And for the power supply, try and get the 450W/550W Corsair or any 500W good brand power suppplies such as Antec earth watts or Silverstone, seasonic, PCP&c instead of that 650W...The 500W is more than suffice for that setup...

You might want to post a link to the site you are planning to buy from, along with the prices of the components you have selected. It'll be much easier to give some concrete recommendations then...
