I'm just curious with all the different companies out there marketing the new Nvidia Chipset what manufacturer do you recommend I buy from MSI, EVGA, BFG, PNY etc. Is there a difference? Does it matter? What is the difference. Video is really not my strong point so I need some pointers on this. Thanks!

well evga has the stepup program. So if you buy the Ultra and then decide you want to switch to pci express, you can switch to that card and just pay the difference. But good luck finding an Ultra that you can buy anytime soon.

BFG comes overclocked out of the box and has a lifetime warranty. They are considered among the best.

I'd go with BFG. It is clocked at 425mhz as apposed to 400mhz. That way you are gaurnteeing yourself a good core.
