Pick one..

they will all be pretty much the same..

Do this...dont pick most expensive...and dont pick cheapest..

and see what you got in the middle..

Any of those brands will be good though..

eVGA GTX 260. $229 after MIR. Great thing about an eVGA card is the step up program. Another good brand is XFX. Don't get any of the overclocked editions; you can easily OC the card w/ eVGA Precision.

 

[just a noob]

or the 9800gx2, and mep did you ever order the 260 i sent you a link to?

Naw, it was an okay deal, but I'm waiting for it to fall into the $175 - $200 range. The MSI model is available for $199 after MIR, though I'd like to get an XFX or eVGA model.
