Need help picking a video card

[Rydal]

I ordered my computer but I havent decided on a video card.
p180
Corsair HX520W
ASUS P5W DH
C2D 6600
Corsair 2g of ram

Will be running on a 17in lcd until I upgrade to a 20in widescreen. Was looking to spend around 300. I was looking at:
x1900xt 256 or even x1900 xt 512 but I cant find them in stock, so i was looking into 7950 GT KO

How do these compair? Wait for the 1900xt to come in stock or just get the 7950?

If you don't mind a rebate you can get this bad boy....

Here is another good choice. $289.99AR 512MB X1900XT. Both cards will serve you well. The 7900GTX will be quieter and the X1900XT will be a bit faster and has a nicer feature set (may or may not be useful to you depending on the games you play).

$310, no rebate for a X1900XT 512 Crossfire master (which I assume you can run as a single card).

wait another 2 weeks. Once g80 come out prices will go down even further.

Awesome deal on that CrossFire Edition card. I don't think OP can wait 2 weeks (He's got all the parts already) unless he has a spare card.
