Hi! I'm building my first gaming RIG and I can't get decide which of these Radeon 6950's to purchase. I'm leaning towards the MSI since it is 5-8% better out of the box and it has very good cooling says the reviews. I would love a second opinion though!

SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 6950 2GB

Use:
- Gaming (CoD, Combat Arms, MMORPGs)
- *Frapsing Game play* <- VERY Important to me :3
- Sony Vegas/Adobe After Effects
Factors:
- I want a card that will last me along time (at least 2-3 years!)
- I've never over clocked before and my case doesn't have extreme cooling
- For $25 more I get a 5%+ performance boost!
Case: HAF 932
Cooling: Thermaltake Frio
Thanks!
