The Gigabyte xtreme looks to have the fastest claimed clocks out of the box but it seems all of the cards that are claimed 1800mhz+ boost end up boosting much higher and about the same performance. The Zotac extreme is really far too big for what is supposed to be just a 150 watt card but nevermind it's the trend. Means that you end up with a near silent card even at full load as the cooler is such overkill. 2.5 slots. Jeez. It also has 2x 8pin connectors, again, ridiculous overkill for what it really needs. * +

Thanks. Did go a bit over budget but decided that was better than upgrading parts over time. The case is a nightmare to work with for accessing cooling, but with what I wanted to spend on it (about the only thing I didn't change from original planning) it was the only 1 I liked the look of. * +

One major thing i regrett is not getting a modular psu. It was a pain hiding all the cables behind the motherboard. Will get a modular higher efficieny one soon to replace it because its 4 years old and think its safe to replace it before it dies taking other components with it. * +

Good thing about the phantom case is it has plenty of room behind the mb for cables * +
