Default EVGA or XFX 8800GTS G92?

Which should I get? This one from XFX: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...889&CatId=3670 or this one from EVGA:http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...403&CatId=3670? They say that the XFX version comes with COD4. Which should I get?

XFX definatly. It will resell for more because of the double warrenty. XFX also has a better warrenty policy than EVGA.

Both have superb warranties. I would choose XFX at this point in the game since I usually buy new and sell it 6-9 months later, which is very attractive for the second buyer.

Plus its cheaper! Win Win situation!

Or, should I get the 9800GTX? I was also looking at the 8800GT Superclocked by EVGA for a second because it is cheaper than both the 9800 GTX and the 8800GTS G92. Will I still be able to play games like Crysis and Call of Duty 4 smoothly on a 1680x1050 (22" WS)? I was planning to overclock whatever card I got, but how far will I be able to push the 8800GT SC if I got one?

I could sell XFX and get something else. It would be cheaper. I heard EVGA charged some guy $126 to go from 8800GT to 9800GTX. 8800GT is ~$190 and 9800GTX is ~$300. EVGA charged about $16 too much.
