ATI cards on Intel PCs?

Hello
Am thinking of buying an ATI HD 5670 card, but I know ATI is used for AMD PCs, while mine is an Intel one. Buying and using an ATI card on Intel will cause an issue?
Also I currently have a 7600GS of NVidia, and needs only to be plugged in the PCI-E slot to work, is the ATI HD 5670 same, or does it need to be connected to the PS ?

Hello,

You can use any brand graphics card, the only restriction is it must fit; pci-e and must have enough power. Can you post the specific card you are looking at?

ATI cards are not only used on AMD machines! AMD now own ATI. ATI cards can be used on any PC with the correct port as they always have been.
