My PSU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817153039

I'm looking to upgrade my BFG 8800GT. I want something that will help me game on max settings @ 1680 x 1050 (while still running my dual 22" monitors). My price range is $150-$200. I was thinking a GTX 260 might be best. If so, which should I get? Are there any massive differences that would encourage me to lean towards one company? Just from doing a little browsing I came up with this:

My PSU should have no trouble with these, right?

If you have a better suggestion please post it, thanks.
 
Your psu should be fine. A GTX is a good choice for your resolution. If you're willing to spend a bit more you can get a 4890 on sale
 
I'd go with an evga or bfg 260 core 216 for warranty reasons. For the price they are awesome performers

Probably the best deal mentioned on this thread. Great price and the best card in that price range. You can't go wrong with a 4890 under $200.
 
^ Thats probably overkill for his resolution. He made a good choice already I think.

we seem to be getting more of those thoughtless immature sounding posts from noobies lately. yeah the card the OP picked out is about perfect for him. that 4890 deal epicjas0n mentioned was nice but I think the price went back up.
