Ati 3870, Nvidia 8800GT or 8800GTX?

I'm building a computer pretty quickly here and I need to figure out what I'm doing for a video card.

I would straight off go with an 8800GT, but their price is being inflated and their availability limited by demand, so I'm weighing my options.

I need a strong enough card to be able to competently display games, aswell as edit video in HD on a 22" Widescreen with a native resolution of 1650x1080.

Canadian Pricing:
8800GT - $299.99 - however shipping is up in the air
8800GTX - On sale for $470 Canadian
3870 - $269.99
I would prefer not to spend money I don't have to.

Do you think the 8800GT or the 3870 would do me alright? I'm not looking to play Crysis on absolute max settings, but I do want to be able to play games on mid-high settings (preferably) native resolution.

Note: The card will be paired with an Intel Core 2 q6700 Quad core and 3 to 4GB of RAM. SLI and Crossfire are not an option at the moment. Processor being used is set in stone (purchase program from intel).

Hard drive vs. flash drive? Which is more reliable?

I've always used my hard drive in my computer to store important documents/datas/pictures. Now I am thinking of transferring all those important documents into a flash drive. Are those tiny portable usb flash drives safe and reliable as regular hard drives in my computer? If so, I am thinking of transferring everything into the flash drive and erasing it from my hard drive in my computer. I have about 1 gig of important documents & pictures.

What program does one use to do a recording of one's monitor?

Such as recording the cursor and actions while working on a project on a paintshop program? You've seen those things, sped up on youtube to show you how the person altered the digital picture to the finished piece.

How can I stop my AIM from shutting down all of the time?

I don't know what I did. I tried moving my computer's location and everything. My AIM signs me off and then automatically reconnects, so I don't even notice when I do it. But my friends get mad at me because I don't get their IM's and they don't get mine. And I constantly sign on and off their buddy list. How do it stop this?! It's been going on for the past month. I even downloaded the newest AIM to see if it was just the version of AIM I was using, but that wasn't the issue. It's STILL doing it.

"Low Virtual Memory" on an 11 month old PC?

My computer is only 11 months old, and I'm getting a"Your computer is low on virtual memory. windows is increasing the size, during this time many memory applications may be denied" or something along those lines. WHY? It's only 11 months old! I never run two programs at once, and aside from my pictures and audio files, there is nothing really stored on my computer. Yahoo messenger, Chuzzle and Kodak Easyshare...thats it. Thats all that's on my computer. What can I do to stop this message? This is the same message I was getting on my last computer, right before it crashed so I'm kind of worried here. I checked and my virtual memory is set to 669.
