Default What 5850 should i get?
after much debate i figured im going red and getting a 5850. wooo!!!!

so im now looking at which one to get and personally i have no clue where to start, since everything is using the reference cooler im thinking about just sticking to the cheapest but i dont know the difference aside from the images on the cards "personally i like the asus plain style" but i also heard "get asus, it comes with oc software already!" so i dont know what has that or doesnt, so what brands should i look to and look away from and does it really matter if i pay more [or less] for the same card

Any available, but don't waste your time upgrading if your putting it in your sig rig. We're talking huge CPU/RAM bottleneck, and I mean XBAWKS HUEG.

i mean it's usually the only thing that prevents customers from choosing asus over the rest of the rest of the brands in most cases.
