Go for EVGA, it seems they have the more popular card, but then again they are generally all the same...

I have had an MSI card for about a year and its working out great. I overclocked and and everything and with stock cooling it runs great. Also when I was trying to get the stock cooling off(I was planning to replace it) I had to use a pair of plyerson the pins in the back. Well it turns out that its not a good idea to use large plyers on something that contains small sensitive electronics. Anyway the plyers slip and I ended up breaking off something off off it(A resistor I think). I nearly had a heart attack. I knew I couldnt afford another card. After 10 minutes of panic I decided that I might as well see if it still works. And to my surprise it did! Works perfectly to this day and no problems what so ever. I have no idea what it was I broke off but apperantly it was not vital. Bottomline is that I think that if you can break things off your card and still have it work I think that says something about the comapny that made it.
