MSI cards are a good choice, usually come packaged with lots of software you may or may not want or need.

imbest123: GUESS who makes the PNY Nvidia cards? PNY sure doesn't - they are only a reboxer. They are made by - are you ready for this? MSI

The ONLY thing wrong with PNY is their terrible customer service.

Eh? Where did you read that at? Both MSI and PNY manufacture their own cards.

The PNY GF4 Ti4400 that I installed in a customer's machine is a MSI-manufactured card.

Maybe they have switched manufacturers for the FX line, I can't find anything to confirm or deny this.

I have a PNY ti4200, and I think it's great. It was quite expensive though, I brought it around October last year and paid around £80 for an OEM version Now you see why my site has buyers guides, lol.
