	For the most part all 9800GX2 are the same. Each company does there own OC, but otherwise the core of it is the same. I would look at some reviews off of this site then make your decision.

	Also, a couple of other things to think about. You can get the cheapest model with the worst cooling, and buy an aftermarket cool and maybe break even with another brand. That's a maybe. Also, you can find really good stock coolers on these powerful cards these days. I know when I got an x1950PRO, I chose Asus due to the large cooler. I got my current evga 8800GTS because of the $115 pricetag from newegg.com, but I ALSO got it because of the MASSIVE cooler on it. Don't pay extra for the overclocked versions, imo. -------------------

	Make sure that your power supply has the proper connectors. Some have a 6 and then the newer video cards have a 6 and an 8 pin. Something that is very easy to forget about.
