Default A med-high performance video card

I need a videocard that has a medium-high performance rate, ~$400.

Any suggestions?

Ok, I couldn't go any higher than $400 I guess, but I found two 8800GT's on newegg

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814130301

Are there any big differences between those two?

Edit: ok, nevermind. One of those just went out of stock

as far as i can see, they are pretty much the same except the EVGA has a higher core and memory clock. but not much higher. still its only like 10 bucks difference. but the EVGA isnt in stock. so go with the MSI. unless you are willing to wait
