So which brand should I go with for a 8800GTX?

eVGA is great if you live in the US due to their Step-up program.

I've owned 2 XFX cards as well, and they have behaved excellently.

 
I have a BFG because it's all I could find, I like it it overclocks well 640mhz on the GPU and over 2100 on the ram. This is with the stock cooler no problems so I'm quite happy with it. EVGA has a life time warrenty I believe, but you have to register the product with them within 30 days of the purchase to get it.

Which one would be best, I'm guessing the OCd one is just a tad better. Thanks for the quick responses too.

Yes the OC'ed one is a tad better. The question to ask yourself is, "Is it $40 plus a $30 rebate better?" The answer for me would be a resounding "NO!" Of course, I wouldn't buy a $500 card to begin with.

It is quiet possible that the lower clocked one will OC up to the level of the higher clocked card. In any case, you're likely talking about less than 5-8 frames per second at the stock speeds. I'd go for the lower clocked card.

Edit: Coolbits is your friend! 😀
 
I would definitely go with the non-Superclock version because anything unplayable on the stock card will still be unplayable on the Superclock version.
