AGP: BFG or Diamond?

I've got a system that I am quite happy with, except for the video card which is an EVGA FX 5200. I am thinking about getting a new card this month, but I am conflicted between two particular cards. From all the reviews I have read, the best AGP card out there is the BFG Tech GeForce 7800GS, which I am leaning toward. However, being a poor college student, a $60 difference in price is always tempting, so I also have considered the Diamond X1650 also. I figure if I buy either of these cards, I am going to need to up my ram and replace my psu. Anyone with some advice (especially people that have one of these cards) would be appreciated.

-Thanks
 
i would splurge (hahaha i said splurge) and go for the 7800 because the performance difference is quite vast i think.
 
BFG > Diamond FTW
BFG + $ > Diamond + $

BFG is overpriced yet more reliable than Diamond, whom I've heard has some driver issues? (Probably fixable by d/l straight form the websites.....)
