Buying a 5850, Suggestions?

Okay, I'm looking into getting a 5850 for my upcoming birthday and noticed that the prices on newegg seem kind of high. I've seen people posting around on forums (sorry, no links) saying that the prices are around $280 for them. On The Egg they have them for $320+! Where are people buying their cards from?
Also, is the Vapor-X cooling worth it in the Sapphire cards? I would love to get my hands on one but I can't find anywhere that sells it, not even The Egg.
Thanks!

I picked mine up from Newegg, stock asus 5850. stock cooler is on the loud side if you overclock and wanna keep lower temps, so i added a zalman vf1000 and it's working great.
