Good card for the money?
Looking for a good card around 120. This seems like a pretty decent one, but i want some more opinions before i place an order. Thanks

GTS 250 is a repackaged 9800GTX+, which is an overclocked 9800, which is a repackaged 8800. It sounds funny when you say it like that.
EVGA only offers a 2 year warranty. BFG has lifetime warranty on all their video cards. Make sure you have plenty of room. Some reviews complain that the card is too big. So big: "I had to move my HDD to a different slot", "blocks my SATA slots". Make sure you have enough power to supply this card. What are you upgrading from?
