So I have decided. Im going to get the GTS 250 for now, cause it comes with a free game, and I can just sell the game for like 40 bucks or so, so I would only be spending around 100 bucks for the 250 and then later on I can do a BFG Trade Up and get a GTX 260 or 280. That sound good to anyone else?

Fair enough.
