Back on topic, go with Xfx their cards are very solid, very well made and are simply fantastic, just recently purchased an Xfx 7600GT, works great. However, have you considered not going with a DX10 card? DX10 isnt exactly popular right now, and really wont be mainstream for a while, and you could pick up a late 7 series card or an ATI X19xx card for a simliar price performence and get better performence, minus the DX10 support. If you really want to go with DX10, you should invest in a better DX10 card. But this is your choice, I had the option of going with a low end 8 series over my 7600GT, ending up going with th 7600GT, better price. equal performence, and lower power requirments.
