I would just get a XFX card if you can and watch for the price drops as i picked up there XFX HD4890 XT for $219 and then picked up a XSPC full waterblock for the card at $69 and my idle temp is 34c and max locd is 50c..
GigaByte have a few nice 4890s I'm even using one of them atm runs really cool as well which is always a plus xD idles between 35-37c and loads about 44-48c (Crysis Ultra High ) so the temps are pretty good and it comes with a Zalman cooler which I liked lols
