The forum title made it seem like you wanted to get 200 GPUs :lol: . Seriously, the X1950 Pro is a good buy, but it shot up in price for some reason. The next ones down are the 7900GS/GT and X1900GT, they're good too.

Someone add more to this, I'm too tired.

The rest of your options were good, except the X1650 XT performs about the same as the 7600 GT for more money. Not worth it.

Yea but i thought i add it in there as option B to the 7600 because thats the only ATI one that you can compare too.

They're all more or less the same. Go for what's cheaper.

If you plan on overclocking, get the revision 1 X1900GT, if you dont, get the X1950Pro.

Good choice, though I still think that's a butt-ugly cooler.

Congrads mate. Im sure you'll fall in love with the 1950 however keep in mind that ASUS does not do "internal Crossfire" (meaning you dont have buy a 'crossfire edition card to CS them). so if you wish you CS it later on you cant.

If u game a lot, u should always spend as much as u can on the GPU and neglect everything else if u have to.
Right now that E6600 isnt doing much and the 200$ u could have saved would have been great towards an 8800 GTS.

For 200$ u can get an X1950 Pro, but i erge u to get the X1950XT for 280$ or the 8800 GTS for 450$.
