I am currently building a mid-range gaming rig with a 5850 i am wondering what brand to get asus or gigabyte??

Asus DirectCU if you're an overclocker, or you want a higher-end HD5850.
Sapphire Vapor-X if you want silent operation.
Gigabyte or MSI Lightning if you want the best-performing HD5850 and you don't know how / never will overclock.
