Price is no problem here, but I;m still stuck with choosing the 8800GTX with the best bundle,

been sticking with Asus' EN8800GTX:

• DVI-to-VGA adapter
• S-Video-to-RGB cable
• Molex-to-PCI Express cable
• leather CD wallet
• Speed SetUP manual
• Manual CD
• driver CD
• 3DMark06 Full Edition
• Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter
• GTI Racing CD

Anyone got better bundles with this card? Tryin' to make the most out of my build. Thanks.

Thats what I got (except it was a GTS but the same bundle) and the only program I use is 3DMark06. Ghost Recon was so boring and slow that I uninstalled it right after I played it. I haven't installed the racing game yet, it looks pretty good, but its not my type of game. The leather case is really useful, I keep all of my important installation CDs in there.

Just trying to let you know what to expect...

GTI Racing also looks shit, so I might go with Gigabyte, no fancy leather wallets but the usual bundle of DVI to VGA dongles and Civ 4 and Call Of Juarez, those any good?

Call of Juarez isnt very good from what ive seen in reviews and videos, just a GTA esque style clone, however Civ 4 is a fantastic game, although it does take a while to learn, and the game can last hours easily.

Seriously, the worst game I've ever played in my life

Seems like I'm going with the Gigabyte one. Anyone have other better experiences with the bundles?

I have an EVGA normal 8800 GTX, and it just came with the card, the drivers and a few other stuff i don't really know of, and some stickers...

I was gonna go ASUS or BFG, mostly because their cards look kickass. But are you really gonna be looking at it anyways? It's facing downwards in your PC.

You are missing one important thing....CUSTOMER SERVICE. These are electronic devices, and as such, problems arise. Who's gonna give you the best service? I've always bought BFG Oc cards for this reason. 7800's, 7900's 7950's and now 8800's. The 7900's would not work(both defective) but they were both replaced instantly without any hassle. I've always heard of people having RMA troubles with other companies, but BFG has always kicked ass with there cards and service. Something to think about.

I got that same set up ... I tend to buy all Asus ... That racing game made a great coaster.
