GF4 4400 Brand?

Decided on getting a GF4 4400 to give me the speed and quality gaming I crave and to be at the top of the graphics card tree for all of...ohhh.....a month!

Not exactly spoilt for cash and so looking at which ones I can get the cheapest here in the UK. The ones I've found are:
Leadtek £235
Creative £223
Dabs Value (mail order company own brand) £210
Nvidia £217

Now do you think there will be a great deal of difference between brands as they all pretty much look the same to me? I would be interested in overclocking this baby slightly to get it to 4600 levels.

Thanks for any help

If you want to overclock it, then go with LeadTek for sure man. They have a really good HSF. Some guy got it to 815Mhz MEM

mrstarface, I recommend the leadtek as well. I haven't tried to overclock mine yet, but may mess with it in the future. What has kept me back is, supposedly, it DOES overclock well but the performance gain is very minimal when it is overclocked (like 2%)

Plus theres always the option of putting a fan on the rear heatsink, that should get you a few more mhz.

Yep, for overclocking extras go with LeadTek, otherwise go with the Creative.
