If you're willing to spend $250+ on your video card, you can consider XFX's 4890: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6814150359

forgot to mention ill be running at 1920x1200 res. I know the 4890 runs good on that res, so that card that you mentioned, can i easily OC it and im assuming its the "Best", dunno why but i've heard XFX was the best manufacturer for ATI card, correct me if im wrong

Overclocking is always a lottery: You may get a good one, you may not, it's just the luck of the draw.
XFX offer the best warranty at the moment and I for one would be happy to pay a little more for that peace of mind. Just remember you MUST register the card with them to get it!

I've had 2 xfx 4890 cards. Great stable card that stays 75c at 30% fan (The auto fan keeps it right about there, but you can jack it up) BUT one of the cards has an EXTREME high pitched wailing coming from ALL THE TIME. I've heard this can be a problem (if your a lucky person like me that can hear it) with the 4890's from various manufactures. If you have a pretty sound tight case, or don't care about high pitched wailing from coil resonance you should be fine.
