Building new system...which video card?

New system will have IWill KK266 mobo, two sticks of 256MB OCZ ICE enhanced PC133, guaranteed to clock 2/2/2 at 150MHz, AMD 1 GHz AYHJA-Y tested to clock at 1606 plus, OCZ 420 watt p/s, IBM 60GXP Deskstar 60GB HDD, etc.

My question is this. I want to get a new video card but do not want to spend an arm and a leg. The two I have my eye on are being sold through Newegg for what I feel is a pretty good price. Here they are:

Leadtek GeForce2 Titanium - 64MB of 128 bit DDR (5ns) - TV-out - Hardware monitoring - Retail for $125 with free shipping

Gainward/CardExpert GeForce2 Titanium/500 XP, 4ns - 64MB or 128 bit DDR, VIVO, Golden Sample Plus - Retail for $139 plus $5 S&H

Has anyone out there had any experience with either of these two boards...or both...and which one do you recommend and why. Thanks for your help.

If you're willing to go to the 175-200 range, you can choose between a Geforce 3 ti-200, or a Radeon 8500 OEM/LE. Both will give you much better performance than a Geforce2 TI.
