    But even for non-custom cooler models, getting a 3rd party cooler for cheap is made easy thanks to Arctic Cooling with their Accelero series :thumb:

    Personally I'd go with a Nvidia 9800GTX+ only because ATI's drivers can be problematic.

    Really? How so?

    I had problems with their earlier Catalyst but their new Catalys 8.x seems to be good. At least I had no problem running any of the games.

    the problem only appear when running on certain settings in some games. these days their drivers always show improvements on many new releases so I'm not too worried about it because there is fix available and FAQ how to resolved it from ATi (AMD)

    AMD drivers have been getting much better nowadays. Only issue I know with my video card (IGP HD3200) is that the latest drivers don't work properly on XP, but perfectly on Vista.

    not to mention, the upcoming ATI 8.10 driver has included Manual Fan Control :D...Kudos to AMD for making it better...
