so it's time for a new video card

when I first built this pc, I had stopped playing video games pretty much all together. so I bought a pretty crappy video card (which actually worked surprisingly well and lasted me a some time). but as of late I have been getting back into video games and my video card needs some updating.

I am a big nvidia fan and was looking around the range of the 260's. I'm was looking between these two cards:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...N82E16814127426

the MSI one has slightly better qualities in its specs. I haven't really followed gaming and hardware for a few years, so I don't know if the very slight differences are worth the $17 or so more I'd pay including shipping? also, I've had a couple EVGA cards and have been satisfied with them. I have never dealt with MSI products, so what are your thoughts on them? I do take other things such as customer service into consideration as well.

I'm also up for recommendations of different cards as well. just nothing over $200.
