Differences in geforce 8800GTS 320mb cards...

[Teknobry]

Just deciding what graphics card to buy for my system, and was looking at the geforce 8800GTS 320mb cards.

The geforce 8800GTS on offer through OC

OcUK GeForce 8800 GTS 320MB GDDR3 HDTV/Dual DVI (PCI-Express)
500MHz Core, 320MB 1600MHz GDDR3 Memory - £171.54

Or is it worth paying £30 more to get:


BFG GeForce 8800 GTS OC2 320MB GDDR3 HDTV/Dual DVI (PCI-Express)

580MHz Core, 320MB 1700MHz GDDR3 Memory --£202.09

Or is it simply a matter of overclocking the cheaper g/card with software to get the same performance as the more expensive card?

Also, will that card fit in this case:

Its just a case of overclocking it, but (a) the BFG has a longer warranty and (b) the overclock on the BFG is guaranteed. That said, you won't be disappointed with either.
