If you're going to use it more than a year, go with it.. Plus if it gets broken after a year and some and you RMA it, they'll probably wont have the same model and send you something better in return
Forgot to mention that you should definitely hold off on ordering that card atleast for another 2-3 weeks.. Witht he new gen cards getting on the market in the following weeks, you can probably buy a 9800pro for the same price
