Decide between Gigabyte and MSI, gigabyte should quieter but Overclocks a little less and MSI should be a little louder and overclock better, the other options are not worth the money.

is overclocking really worth it?

Im just buying this only for gaming on my 1440x900 monitor....

With that card and that resolution, you will have very good playability with out OCing.

Get the xfx. I have had no problems with their products. You don't need to oc your card to play games. I know I may sound crazy but I would consider a 5850. More streaming processes.
