Do you have a best buy, compusa, Fry's Electronic in your area?
They have sales often that have good prices with rebates locally.

Newegg is about the only place I would trust buying anything refurb. b/c I have ordered from them before and returned stuff also. They are quick and trustworthy.
I try to buy locally if I can but most of the time I cant just find what I want.


The MSI is stable.

The Abit may be loud depending on fan on it.

Gainward, I would say no b/c of resister problem. I have read a lot of people having prob's down the road b/c of it. Then you send card to manufacture and it gets fixed but takes 6 weeks.

Asus, stable, board is long like the Albatron ones. Be careful installing.

Also try pricegrabber.com, to help find great price + resellerrating.com = good buy!

Use newegg.com to find user reviews, just might not have cheapest price, but sometimes does.
