It's just out of stock currently. I'd play the Vapor-X second, then that Asus.

However... I have a feeling Vapor-X and Toxics start in the same place, then if they can't get the 960 core that comes on a Toxic they sell it as a Vapor-X.

I'd stray away from that one for a while until we start hearing some better experiences with it.

So best cooler is Toxic/Vapor-X.

Best card with cooler is Toxic/Asus.

EDIT: I was talking about 4890s that whole time...

You could also get the cheapest 4870 on there and grab this:

... Or get the Toxic??

I don't know. I've never seen a direct comparison between the two.

OP... make sure to get 1GB memory if you plan to be playing any games with intense textures like Crysis or GTA4.

which one would be better? the asus looks like a better/quiet cooling, but the xfx has a factory overclock, but might be loud
