ive always liked ASUS, Saphire, XFX. The GTS250 performs betteron paper with a slightly higher memory, shader, and core clock with the same amount of memory. if you can get the GTS250 for the same price i would go with the 250 even though i am a ATI fanboy

its more to do with size of your case, not just the mother board.

what games do you play the most? nvidia are faster in some, ATI in others.

that makes more sense.

unfortunately neither game is out currently so I cant really speculate on which card it would run faster. both cards will give you a respectable frame rate i imagine. both games look like they will be mainly dx9.

i would pick an ATI based card, personal pref only. there are lots that would recommend the 250 aswell.

they are both older tech, one has got directx 10.1 (ATI) and the other has physx (NVIDIA).

i would throw in the other option of waiting for a few directx 11 games to come out and re assess the situation with a 5770 or similar.

you might find that in a months time you will have a much better picture of what would suit you.
