I'm looking at the 260 right now mostly. Specifically, this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a … 6814143156

The monitors I have are only 1280x1024 and I won't likely be upgrading those for a bit.

Also, I'm kind of an nvidia fanboi.

Then the 260 will last you a long while to come.

If you're going to spend that much, just get this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a … 6814143141

Yes it can.

At that resolution, your CPU has a lot to do with performance. It will be a huge bottleneck no matter what card you get. However, if you ever upgrade your monitors then you will find the GTX280 to handle higher resolutions a lot better than the 260. Plus, the price gap is very small. Worth it IMO.

They both have life time warranty's, and they're both gamer companies. BFG is very good, as is eVGA. I see no reason not to buy the BFG.

Plus, they give you awesome stickers. When my dad got his BFG 8800GTX, they gave him a bunch of little stickers and one said, "OMFGWTFBFGSAUCE"

How is that?
