Ok, so I've decided to buy the DFI LanParty UT nF4 Ultra-D, and now I just need help choosing the video card.


The Leadtek 6800GT (PCI-E) only has a 3 year warranty, and that's freaking me out because I know I will probably keep it for more than that long. But, the Leadtek comes with 2 games and other software as well..


The eVGA, XFX, or BFG are my last other choices.

BFG (OC'ed)- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814143025



so, which one?

BFG, EVGA or XFX. All 3 have lifetime warranties. XFX's is a double lifetime, for you and next buyer. BFG's is the fastest in terms of speed, since its default OC'd out of box. Id get bfg, they have great tech support and rma. Evga would be my next choice. They also have a lifetime warranty and great tech support. BFG of course are in high demand though and sell for more. Evga is cheaper than BFG. XFX is probably the cheapest out of all the cards on the market. Hope that helps.

Don't be fooled by the Leadtek "only" having a 3 year warranty, I have a Leadtek 6800GT and it's built like a tank, I very much doubt it will give trouble just because the warranty expires.

My mother still uses my old Leadtek GF3 Ti-200 and it is still going strong (as is my old GF2 pro, though that's a Hercules not a Leadtek).

There are very few cards better engineered, especially heatsink and VGA filter wise than Leadtek cards.
