For an extra $10 or so, you might as well go with the 8800 GTS if you're willing to go for the 8800 GT (and yes, JayP is correct). From what I hear, eVGA > XFX >> BFG, but I don't think it matters much as they all use the same parts anyways. I've also heard that the oveclocked 8800GT can be super loud (in particular, XFX Alpha Dog), so be careful with that. If you get a non-overclocked one, you can always overclock it yourself if you know what you're doing or are willing to learn.
