Heyyo,
Now aubrey, some makers just don't cut it like others, so paying attention to the makers is just as important as the type of vidcard you want, if not more.
egva's cheap and stable, a good choice.
xfx usually comes bundled with games, and if you get their newer vidcard revisions they have a decent stock HSF solution too. Just hope you don't get the original, if so change it.
now, asus.. how can you say they suck? lol. I mean, asus makes one of the greatest mobos to date. Their vidcards are a little pricey, but I'm sure it's cause there's plenty of quality innit.
leadteks good from what I hear, but also a little pricey.
hmm, msi's decent.. well, at least their K mobo lineup..
PNY's been around since 1985. so they have survived the test of time. Their coolers looks pretty sleek and I like how they put all the chips on the one side of the board so you can slap on a bigger vga silencer if you wanted to. Plus, dual dvi ports, no vga junk from these guys. I bet they're a good buy. And cheaper than evga (well, at least where I could get them).
