However if you go with an FX5600 go with the Ultra Rev.2.
You can tell a rev.2 over a rev.1 by it's core. 400/400(800) v. 350/350(700).
If you buy a Rev.1 you'd have been better off buying an Ati R9500Pro or 9600Pro. The Rev.2 is the real deal and makes it a toss-up between it and the R9500Pro (one winning one bench the other winning another) then making it a choice of fav. manufacturer (which I assume is NV based on your original selections).
EDIT: Actually take a look at <A HREF="http://www.techseekers.net/modules.php?name=Reviews&rop=showcontent&id=63&page=8" target="_new">this reviewer's</A> experience (conclusions) as a little caveat. The review is of a Rev.1 FX5600-Ultra.
As Shadus said, stay away from the FX5200-anything.
