Looking for a New Desktop, need some help.

I'd let the warranty be the decision maker for the models you have opted to elect as the possible winners. With that said, either xfx cards on that page would be fine and dandy.
(that being, because they offer a lifetime warranty on those cards)

-if you get a card with a lifetime warranty, make sure you register it with providers.

no worries chap ;-]

now if you're like me, you'll play the waiting game with newegg. meaning, you'll wait for them to put free shipping on either of those cards. happens to me every time. I will wait for weeks, hoover over something...get sick of waiting...make purchase...

within 2-3 days of making purchase, Item will go on sale, get free shipping etc. etc. etc. then I just lol.

also, if you can hold out, wait till after christmas/new year to make purchase.

Well the desktop I want will be there until January so I don't plan on getting the card before the comp. Why bother getting the Super mario brothers game before you get the NES right? lol.

But then again there's a chance I won't get the desktop....and hopefully next year there will be better models for the same price....but that Asus is REALLY looking good to me lol.

Do you like XfX better than other brands?

[flubber]

all of my builds revolve around the "big names"
XFX
EVGA
BFG

never had any nightmares with these products, and yes I've been thru the RMA process with each company.

I personally like XFX, Saphhire and EVGA. Gigabyte and Asus do some good deals aswell. Havn't experienced other brands much.

Asus seems to have some good cash-back deals. The 4650's big brother is also available

I would only recommend them if the cash-back sysetm is any good in the US, if it's anything like what we have in NZ, it's not worth the bother.
Here it can take months for you to receive your money, if at all. It is often tricky to fix problems relating to cash-back as well, as it often involves contacting people overseas. If the US cash-back system works, go for it. Otherwise get the one that comes cheapest before cash-back.
