Ok so I am finally going to be buying a new system, hopefully, within the next week or so. I have narrowed everything down except for the card. I am an ATI fan and have been for almost 10yrs, but recently their X1k line is just not giving the power to games like Nvidia is, so here is my cunnundrum: Which card do I get?

ATI X800GTO 256mb PCI-E
ATI x1600XT 256mb PCI-E
XFX 7600GS Extreme Edition PCI-E

The GS has the power to play almost all the newest games and is completely silent, but will it put out the image quality that ATI is known for? The X1600 and 7600GS are about 130-140 and the X800GTO is only 100 which is making this a major toss up between the X800 and the 7600.

HELP!!!
 
How loud is the fan on the GT? The kicker for me is really the sound. I know that the stock cooler on my A64 3800+ is going to be tons more quiet compared to my Dragon Orb 3 but still I want the system to be as quiet as possible. Hence, the kicker being $100 for the X800GTO or the pure silence of the 7600GS. I am going to be using this on an SLi board but doubt I will ever get another card, don't play anything THAT instensive.

Thanks for help
