I'm planning to get a new card TODAY! I'm down to these cards and must make a decision and place an order before midnight (rebates expire April 30th on some of these). Here is what I am down to...

1. MSI NX8800GTS 512M OC GeForce 8800GTS (G92) 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card - Retail http://www.newegg.com/product/produc...82E16814127325 Price with mail in rebate and shipping $202.58. Comes with copy of Witcher game!

2. PNY VCG88GTS5XPB GeForce 8800GTS (G92) 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card - Retail http://www.newegg.com/product/produc...82E16814133215 Price with mail in rebate and shipping $197.58

I need some help deciding which one to get...these cards are all within a $40 range from the most expensive to the cheapest(with shipping and MIRs included)

Here's what I'd like to know...
1. Does anyone have one of these ECS cards and are they as good as the others...stat wise they look fine but I know that doesn't always translate to real performance.
2. Which card in this list would you go for and why?
3. Anyone running any of these cards please tell me if you like its performance and whether you are overclocking it or not.

I'm leaning at the moment to the MSI for two reasons...free game and comes overclocked slightly from the factory so I don't have to worry about messing with overclocking myself.

Additional info:Here is my computer specs:
Asus P5VD2-MX SE Motherboard with Intel Core Duo 6300 (2 PCI, 1 PCI x16, 1 PCIx1 all currently empty)
2 Gig Ram
WDC WD3200JS 320 gig HD
DVD
CD
Floppy
Onboard sound/video VIA chipset
Buying new PSU to power this card -> OCZ StealthXStream OCZ600SXS ATX12V / EPS12V 600W Power $69 after rebate!!! OCZ StealthXStream

Thanks for the responses in advance!!! As I posted above time is of the essence as I will have to order TODAY to get these rebates so please post early and post often!!!

You wont go wrong with any of those cards. If your planning on overclocking, get an EVGA, an ASUS or BFG card, they seem to have higher headroom than the others. if you arent overclocking, look for a factory overclock but be prepared to pay a little extra for it. I have a BFG 8800GTS OC, i overclocked it myself too but it has a lifetime waranty AND step up program in the US, so a winner all round. But out of those 4, i'd go for the EVGA

Ended up ordering the 1 x EVGA 512-P3-N845-AR GeForce 8800GTS (G92) KO 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card - Retail

Looking forward to getting it in a couple of days!
