Please help me pick an AGP video card, that will fit the SwiftTech MCW60.

Ok, before I start, understand I WILL BE building a new box soon, E6600 tied into an ASUS P5N32-E SLI Water cooled and OC'd. However, I want to keep this box after that's built, but use it for descent gaming until then.

With that said, I basically want to upgrade the video card; I'm currently running a MSI 6600 GS AGP 8X.

Here are the stipulations:

*MUST BE AGP 8X*

1.) It must fit the SwiftTech MCW60 GPU Water Block. (Just Bought it and I don't want to feel like I wasted my money and I WILL OC.)
2.) Must be GDDR3. (I really want 512MB, but I can settle on 256MB.)
3.) Must be 256-Bit Memory Interface.
4.) I really would like to stay below $180.00. (I don't need to spend all my upgrade system money on this.)

So far all I can even possibly see, that SOMEWHAT matches what I'm looking for are these:

Please help me, I feel like I've hit a damn brick wall...

Oh yeah... I guess I'm willing to go the ATI route, if need be.


Thanks,

For AGP high end, but less than $200, you really only have two options.

1) The 7900gs agp you posted. I know they came out with a 7950GT AGP a whie back, didn't know a 7900gs came with it.

2) x1950pro agp here are list of different cards from newegg: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&DEPA=0&Description=x1950pro+agp

Looks like you may be in luck... the Sapphire card is $180 after a $30 rebate, and it has 512mb of the ddr3 you requested.
