A 9800 GTX is basically same as a GTS 250.

If your going for either series get this.

XFX GTS 250.

The 9800 GTX+ is better.

edit: Oops I was thinking it said the 240.

Never mind the 250 is actually just a rebadged 9800gtx+.

SO they are around the same performance.

Only the 512MB versions.
How about I end this now?

DX11, 1GB, a little more than the others($), quality brand, less power consumption, and best of all, it's powerful-er.

If I were you, I'd say up the extra $44, you'll be glad you did. I bought an outdated quad(Q6600) instead of saving about $50 for a newer quad that offers similar performance, but consumes less power and overclocks fairly well.

im okay with the 44$ as i plan to update it when the price of a gtx 260 drops but sakumo between these two things http://www.thermalright.com/new_a_pa...20ex_revc.html and http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...-052-_-Product

which would keep an i5 cool at 3.5-4.0 ghz and is cheaper? like i don't need it to drop that low in temperature just cool enough for it to be stable
-------------
wait how much better would the graphics cards compare?

The GTX260 will CURRENTLY give more performance, but as the drivers mature, the 5750 will perform better.

You should get this instead(NEWEGG IS ONLY A REFERENCE FOR THIS):
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16835181010
If you live by a Fry's or Bestbuy, go there now and buy that. Basically rivals the TRUE but for less if you can get it on sale. Currently ~$50 last time I checked at the two retailers I mentioned.
