    Need help deciding on a video card

    I'm about to order the parts to build my own computer which are below, the problem is I've been waiting almost three weeks for the
    Graphics Card: MSI GTX 460 GTX Twin Frozr graphics card to come into stock on newegg.com. So I've been searching around and found the (MSI N550GTX-Ti Cyclone OC GeForce GTX 550 Ti (Fermi) 1GB 192-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card $154.99 "134.99 after mail in rebate") video card. I was wondering if is as good as the twin frozr or not. What I really want to know is if anyone has a card that would be as good or better than the 460 GTX Twin Frozr for about the same price or no higher than $200. Or should i just wait for newegg to restock the 460? How long does it usually take for newegg to restock items?

    The 550Ti is a waste of money, wait for the gtx 460.

    HD6870 should beat it but it's more expensive. I don't think you can find anything better than a GTX 460 Twin Frozr for only 149$.
