BFG's a great co too - I've got cards from both BFG and EVGA, and would buy again from both. :)
Customer service stories from EVGA - there are the same from BFG. ( * Though, BFG seems to be pricier for the initial buy. )

Umm... no one has mentioned the HD4770?
It's one affordable, two highly overclockable, 3 gives great performance, 4 two of these in crossfire outperform or match (can't remember) a single HD4890/GTX 275.
IMO it's the way to go... just look for it on newegg because if I put up the link it might get taken down (they're in high demand). Some manufacturers sell it for $110, others for $120.

comparison of 4770 vs 4870 ? cuz you can get a 4870 for like 120 or 130
Zayras:
Wow that's actually true, although most are over $150... jeez the price dropped a lot on them. Yeah 4870 is better no doubt, the 4770 gives you about the same performance (better if you overclock) than the 4850 at much better temps.

The main reason I did not want an ATI is because of power consumption/heat issues. Nothing against them personally (My last card was an X700 Pro, and a great card), but their latest cards run pretty inefficiently.
