Check your PSU, at least 450W is recommended, and if your PSU is cheap brand (Cooler Master extreme, GX, AVF?) then better change to a better one.

btw whats the average power utilization when rendering windows 7 desktop without aero for ATI 6970 ??

From reviews, it's around 20 ~ 25Watts, but that's from high-end system, plus they're using gold-rated PSU.

Buying decisions always make us consumer headache if there's too many changes in short period of time.
Lets make this short, you got your budget lets say RM1k, doing some research on the card that you want, AMD or nVidia doesn't matter, then buy the card that value to your point of view, don't look back, LOL.
Well, unless you have $$ to spend, you can always change when you feel like it or when there's new one come out every few months.
Decide on the time you buy then don't look back, otherwise you'll feel so arse regret every time you buy one thing and the next day you realize how the **** you bought it in the first place.

if enough, how bout OC (though i still dunno why I need to OC this card as playing games flawless)

Then,

If you can max out your card without having PC issue (hang, BSOD, turned off unexpected, etc.) then you might able to last for another year or less (depends on usage).
If you want to save your precious hardware, buy the real power PSU 500W and above is recommended.
