hey guys,
i'm buying a graphics card for my rig, and i'm getting either a 8800GT or a 8800GTS depending on the prices on newegg. i've a 22in Acer AL2216Wbd monitor. so right now it seems that i'll be getting a 8800GTS. i'm just waiting for some free shipping offer to come out.
anyway. i was looking at the different 8800GT's and 8800GTS's, and have a few questions about the brands and models and stuff.

That's the EVGA 8800GTS KO version at 678mhz for 219.99 AR

This is the EVGA 8800GTS version at 670mhz for 229.99 AR. (unfortunately out of stock
Now, why would the overclocked one be more expensive? or is it just a price fluctuation thing. is there any disadvantage of getting the KO version? does it have a better/worse cooler? if any?

And here, we have the MSI one at 650mhz.
Ok, so i know that EVGA and XFX are good brands for graphics cards. MSI too? i've heard things about the MSI one having a better cooler? what are the notable differences (from experience or whatever) between the brands? or are they all the same? any recommendations on which one i should get (even if it's the EVGA 8800GT which is currently going for 169.99 AR)?
Would appreciate any comments. Thanks!
