Thanks for the feedback Termie.
I can actually get both for approx. the same price from Amazon based upon a 15% discount I can receive which puts them within ~$13 of each other after rebate.
If the price is equal on both of these cards does it come down to personal choice as far as which to purchase? Gaming at 1920 x 1080.

I understand each has a handful of games they excel...
1. What YOUR PC will be used for. That means what types of tasks you'll be performing.
Gaming (Skyrim, TitanFall, Civ5, COD, Starcraft II)
2. What YOUR budget is. A price range is acceptable as long as it's not more than a 20% spread
$1000 - $1500

Thanks for the replies guys.
Pretty much inline with what I was thinking.
I'm going to suggest a GPU upgrade. HD 4890 or a GTX 460.
With the new 6xxx series coming out this week the next couple weeks leading up to BF should be a great time hopefully for some GPU price breaks.
I have the following rig -
GA-EP35-DS3L
E8400
8800GT Alpha Dog
4GB Gskill
Earthwatts 500w
My friend wants it to game with, mainly he plays WoW but a few RTS games as well.
I know this setup with play WoW fine but gets bogged down occasionally during raids with alot going on...
I decided to pick one of these up and give it a go.
I was suprised that it didn't come with a DVI cable. Only a VGA.
Anyone get one with their monitor ?
I'm just glad I live in Metro Detroit and we pick up CBC for hockey. Anything would be better than a VS broadcast but CBC just makes them look sad. Totally night & day.
Thanks for all the input.
I'm about to order my parts tonight and noticed that newegg has their

1. What YOUR PC will be used for. That means what types of tasks you'll be performing.
Gaming, surfing, some light 2d/3d mechanical design
2. What YOUR budget is. A price range is acceptable as long as it's not more than a 20% spread. ~ $1000
3. What country YOU will be buying YOUR parts...
Anyone pick one up that decided not to use it ?
Or anyone pick up an extra they would let go for a reasonable price ?
I thought I had one but ended up with an error or something and was a no go :(
Gratz to those who got in btw.
This import vs Big 3 debate on quality is pretty funny. Both sides are actually getting some of the facts right but are a bit off on others.
Forget JD Powers, you can buy a rating from them if you want it bad enough. No Joke.
Bottom line is that Big 3 quality IS indeed on par overall with...
The Rebate is indeed listed on the product page.
Right below the add to cart button is the In Stock notice and directly below that is a hyperlink preceded by a big blue $ that says $30.00 mail in rebate.
This shows up in IE7, haven't checked with other browsers.
2 points here.
1. Chrysler has recently changed their 'friends and family' pricing. Very doubtful that you could save more with the 'control number' because they most probably wouldn't/couldn't give the extra discounts then.
2. Never in my life have I heard of a performance air filter...
There are also Buy 2 Get 1 Free peel Target coupons on the 25oz and 1L bottles.
You can use 1 of these for every (3) 12oz. bottles you purchase along with the other coupons. Makes the deal even better.
$5 Gift Card offer expires Sat. btw.
(as for reprint of coupon, the coupon is a...
One of the best things about buying from buy.com or newegg is their shipping. Even if you order with only free shipping that says 5-7 days you will usually see it within a day or two.
Sorry you lost out on your coupon but I thought there was also another $10 off $150 in computers/electronics...
I'd probably go with the AIW.
But I wouldn't trade in the 9600 Pro. Could probably find in trade forum a really old vid card to trade in. Doesn't matter make or age just something to trade in. Then sell 9600 Pro to recoup a few dollars.
If still considering an ATI don't forget about their trade in deals.

They have the (new cards btw)
All-in-Wonder? X800 XT 256MB AGP USD$129.00 Credit USD$50.00
&

They send you the card and...
My vid card just recently started showing display corruption in desktop. This also appears in games as well but flashes and disappears at times.
Here's a pic (hopefully you can see what I'm talking about):

With this setup for CPU/Mobo
Abit NF7-S Rev2
Athlon XP-M 2500+
350 PSU
Would I be fine with name brand (ocz, corsair, etc.) VS PC3200 ram with overclocking?
Or should I still go with better PC3200 ram ?
All feedback appreciated.
So needing to put together a mid level system.
Should I go with something like this:
NF7-S
AMD 2500+, 2800+, 3000+, 26000+ M
OR
AMD A64 skt 754 3000+
DFI NF3 250 mobo
Either system should be able to make use of :
ATI 9700/9800 or 6600 vid card
1 Gig PC3200 (DDR 400) ram...
