Is this a decent card?

What about this one?

Does MSI produce decent cards?
Some specs on the rig it would go in:

Athlon 64 3500 Venice
Epox 9NPA+ ULTRA
160 Gb Samsung Spinpoint
Enermax Noisetaker 485

Any suggestions?

this is a good brand of cards, as well as msi. however, if you are considering buying that, you might want to put some more cash down to a 6800gt - well worth it and is better than both of those.

with evga bfg way better coverage bfg lifetime evga 2 years not to mention msi is in china... rma would suck.. oops scratch that though u were talkin nvidia..

The 6800GT PCI-E is a bit out of reach right now.

"oops scratch that though u were talkin nvidia.."

I'm looking at both radaeon and nvidia

another thing i noticed with the 6600gt from msi is an annoying high pitch frequency from the fan dont know if any other cards from msi have that same problem

All of the MSI extras make it look tempting. If its true about the high frequency noise, I'll pass/
Now I'm looking at these two

I would stretch a few more dollars and get http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814102496 for 265$. Overclock it well and you'll have something good.

Either one should work fine.

Thanks for the suggestion. Actually that one would work great. Hopefully the rebate is good.
