GTS 250 vs another GTS250? Adobe MPE help

[FUBARxv]

I currently have a BFG 8800GT OC 512mb in my PC and the specs are the following on the PC.
 
Windows 7 64bit
Intel Core 2 Quad (Q6600)
4 GB Ram @ 800mhz
500gb + 1 TB HDD's. 
 
I'm trying to take advantage of the MPE in Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 by upgrading my video card.  I don't want to go overkill on a card if my processor will bottleneck and I've maxed out the ram on the mainboard. 
 
I was looking at a Zotec GTS 250 but I've found two different models at a large price difference or the 9800GT for considerably less money. 
 
$169.99 (CAD)

or the BFG 9800GT at Tiger Direct for $114.99
 
I'm not really sure what the best option is for me or if there is a different nVidia card I can use for around the same price range? 
 
I'm new here and any help would be greatly appreciated.

The 9800GT and 8800GT are the same card. Clocks will probably be higher on the 9800GT, but its not worth paying $115 for. You should probably buy the cheaper of the GTS250s. You can always change the clocks on them if they are different. If the $200 has a better cooler, up to you if its worth it.

Have you looked at www.newegg.ca yet? They might have a better deal. Even in Canadian money those GTS250s seem expensive to me.

Honestly you should try newegg.ca, they are pretty well priced and i found a 250gts for 123.99 http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150479

the 9800gt is still a decent card, but for a couple bucks more i would get the 250gts.

Although for adobe premier I am not sure that you would see much of a difference between the 9800gt and the 250gts.

Gonna have to ask the pros on this one.

Also, for games a 250gts is a good match for your cpu.
