Hello guys, I have a question.

I'm going to buy a new graphic card to my pc:
Mobo: Asus P5N-e sli
Ram: 2x 2GB OCZ Reaper HTC 1066 MHz
Cpu: C2D E6420 2.13@3.2GHz
HDD's: 2x Seagate 320Gb and 500Gb
Case: Antec Tree Hundred
PSU: LC Power 550W (I know, my bad :/)

Which one shall I chose?
GAINWARD 896MB GTX260 0.8ns 625/2200 GoldenSample or ZOTAC GTX260 SYNERGY 896MB DDR3 or maybe other (I mean other GTX or ATI)?

Well then you dont really need that much power

That is a very low resolution compared to what that card is meant for, a 1440x900 resolution or higher would be a better monitor in terms of getting bang for your buck

I just got my 2nd GTX 260 C216. Although, the one I just received was the same model number, but it had the Superclocked card's clock speeds. Both of mine are EVGA and so far, they work great.

I would pick xfx because you could get a good resale price of your card becasue of the double warrenty.

You could tell the seller that the card is still under warrenty, which is a very good selling point for someone buy a used card.
