If your going to spend that much on a 280GTX you might as well get the 4870 X2 which is almost 50% more powerful in some benches. Other than that the 4870 is the best bang for the buck

It's a good card. Essentially, they're all the same. But look into warranties. Asus only has 3 years, Gigabyte is the same. HIS however has lifetime. So I would be getting this: Online | |

That's gonna be a killer rig. Are you gonna get a water loop? I can recommend parts for that also.  | |

From what I read, the CCC 8.8 drivers do the job fine. I don't think there is any need for Omega drivers. But I myself have no idea if they would work..
And I just walked in the door, let me clean up first and I'll throw together a list for ya G. | |
