I have a GPU question because i'm a dope

So in all my excitement of ordering my sig rig and because Newegg won't allow combo deals in their wishlist I accidently ordered the wrong brand GPU.

Instead of ordering the the EVGA GTX 285 in combination with the OCZ Platinum ram I ordered the PNY GTX285. The PNY combo is about $15 cheaper than the EVGA. I will most likely replace this card with the best ATI Single GPU card whenever SC2 & Diablo III are released.

So my big question is do you think it is worth the hassle and extra charge of returning the PNY (still unopened) in exchange for the EVGA card?

Meh not really no. EVGA has a better warranty but not really worth the hassle for me at least.

The only differences between brands are slight changes in clocks speeds and warranty and such. Don't hassle about it.
