Good card for the money?

[Geoffrey70]

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?

Case is a CoolerMaster HAF, so room shouldn't be a problem. Psu will be upgraded at the time of the card.. I'm using a crappy 9500gt right now.

Would it be better to just get a 9800gtx?

No. The GTS 250 is upgraded, with new BIOS and single power plug.

Nice case btw...
