Help me choose which X1900 to get.

[AFK_Matrix]

Ok need a new GFX as my friend has agreed to buy my X1800

So these are the choices I have (I want performance but with quiteness)

Connect3D X1900XT @ £276.07
Connect3D X1900XTX @ £311.32
HIS ICEQ 1900XT @ £311.32
OCUK 7900GTX @ £305.44

Now I was thinking of getting the ICEQ but considering in around 2-3 months I am gonna watercool my pc I thought that its a bit of a waste for that shorter time? So I might as well get the best card there the x1900xtx but I would like to save some money lol so the 1900XT is very tempting at that price. What would you lot do?

Well if you are going to watercool, get the Connect3D X1900XT @ £276.07. Then there will be no noise from the cooler and you will be able to overclock to and probably past XTX speeds.

Just get the cheapest. It's barely noticable except for 5 seconds on startup and perhaps after playing a demanding game for an hour or so. In the latter case it'll most likely be drowned out by in game sound effects and music anyway.
