Respectable gaming video card manufacturers

Hi, i'm building a new gaming system at the moment and was planning on purchasing a 512mb 8800GT, and eventually another to run in SLI. I'd just like to ask about the respectability of certain manufacturers of these cards, i've got a list of them below.

Any comments on which ones to stay away from, and which are considered respectable would be much appreciated. Thanks

Leadtek
Asus
Gigabyte
Point of View
Gainward
PNY
OcUK
Sparkle
BFG
EVGA

Think that's it, thankyou for any feedback.

I think EVGA has a decent rep. I've used Gigabyte mobos and cards in the past with good success.

EVGA is regarded as a good brand, I've also had no trouble with Gigabyte products. I have an MSI graphics card that works flawlessly.
