@OP:
Are you going to buy the card online?
Which city are you in? You may find good prices at local shops. if it's Ottawa I can suggest a few good local shops.
If you're going with NCIX, the eVGA version is $60 more than the BFG version and IMO that's a bad deal. They are worth exactly the same, as far as I'm concerned. True, eVGA has a step-up program, but I bet you're not interested in that. XFX is also a good brand, but their version is even more expensive, at least at NCIX.
