Which one would you pick?

I am currently stuck on which card to get, I can't afford a 5850 so it is down to one of these three.

Asus 4890.

MSI GTX 260 Core 216.

EVGA GTX 260 Core 216.-Mostly because of the warranty....

I like ATI but the price of the GTX 260 is nice and according to the review below the MSI GTX 260 is pretty much just as fast as a 4890.

I do have CrossFire board but most likely would not get another 4890
anyway so that's a pro and a confor the 4890.

What I'm kinda leaning towards is getting the MSI GTX 260 and a good case now and then wait six months or so and get a ATI 5850-5870 when the prices come way down.

Anyway give some input before I flip a coin.

Thanks a bunch,
Mike.
