    I was planning to get a BFG Tech BFGR88768GTXOC2E GeForce 8800GTX 768MB
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...14127282384-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 HDCP Video Card - for like about $600. Then I saw a new card for about 40$ more
    MSI
    MSI NX8800GTX OC Liquid GeForce 8800GTX 768MB 384-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 Liquid Cooler HDCP Video Card - Retailhttp://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16814127282, but it was watercooled seperatly and didnt take up a extra pci slot, also it wasnt overclocked as much as the BFG. I was just thinking to overclock it to the same specs of the BFG and get cooler temps. So should i spend the extra 40$ on the watercooled version then just overclock it to the same specs or higher than the BFG OC2?

    If you have room in your case, get the watercooling one.

    (btw, the BFX one is gone from newegg)
