Which card to get?

I would hold off a little if you can because nvidia is coming out with a die shrinkage and possibly other cards thus price decreases. If you need one now, I would not get the BFG...its a bit too expensive...try evga if you want 216 cores. Dont know in detail about ati's stuff, so ill leave it to other ppl to answer that....but the 4870 is not a bad card.
 
Well, if there are better cards coming out soon, I suppose it is better to wait :(
 
I believe the 260 OCed is a bit faster than the 4870, but it's also a good bit more expensive. Up to you, really. They're both a pretty big step up from the 8800 GT.
 
I'm more comfortable with Nvidia myself, however the 4870 is a great deal. Tough choice, but I guess you already knew that. huh? ;) eVGA rocks. I'd buy from them if I had the extra dough.

I suppose I could go with EVGA, and if it turns out they DO come out with something new soon, I step-up! That's how it works, right? o_O

Here is another question: I noticed that there are some video cards that come stock overclocked. Are they any different from the normal cards? Or would I be able to get the exact same overclock by simply doing it myself?
