Buzz, im looking for a new vid card (i was able to sell the old one since it was still brand new for a decent amount)

The mother board i have is an ASUS A8N-VM so i need a PCI-Express x16 (or x1) and ive been looking around. I found this SAPPHIRE Radeon X850XT 256MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 Video Card

Is it worth the price? or can i find a cheaper/better one?

PNY 7600GT
http://shop3.outpost.com/product/4786549

Thats a pretty good card for $119 After Rebate

XFX 7900GT
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814150144

If you've got a bigger budget you could go for this $233 After Rebate

And you could probably find a X1900XT 256mb when a deal pops up for a little more than the 7900GT.

Found the X1900XT 256mb on newegg for $240, its pretty much the best bang for buck out there right now. I used to have the 512mb version, but I downgraded to a 7900GT for less noise, less heat, and for money.
