Hi there,

I'm gonna buy a new cpu soon and I have almost everything sorted out.
I'm going with the 8800GTS 320mb but what I don't know is if I should go with XFX or Asus. These are the only two I can get from my cpu retailer and the XFX is 30 $ less expensive.

I know that Asus is usually good, but I barely know anything about XFX, which one should I take? Why?

Thx in advance

I've known XFX be as good as, if not better than, ASUS. From reading articles and such about both, I would say XFX edges out ASUS. I also usually find XFX less expensive. If I had to choose between the two, I would definitely go XFX. From experience, I've frequently seen where XFX oc'd their cards. Sorry, no links at hand.

Asus is usually more expensive because of their name and bundle. Cheaper products typically don't include a game or less games or other software. Both are based on the Nvidia reference design and should be fairly equal so just go with the less expensive option.
