Question for any computer gurus, I have a Gigabyte Geforce 7600GS, just not enough for this game, tried to add ROW and just too slow. Stock game plays ok but not at high quality.

Looking at:
EVGA 320-P2-N811-AR GeForce 8800GTS 320MB 320-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card - Retail

1x Winner of Customer Choice Award - Desktop Graphics

Chipset Manufacturer: NVIDIA
Core clock: 500MHz
DirectX: DirectX 10
DVI: 2
Model #: 320-P2-N811-AR

$114 plus shipping after $30 rebate

and

MSI NX8800GTS 320M OC GeForce 8800GTS 320MB 320-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card - Retail

Chipset Manufacturer: NVIDIA
Core clock: 575MHz
DirectX: DirectX 10
DVI: 2
Model #: NX8800GTS 320M OC

$119 plus shipping after $30 rebate

Anyone familiar with either of these cards or brand. I am not familiar with either brand so I don't know if it's a good idea or not. The difference I notice is the core clock is higher on the MSI.
Any help greatly appreciated.
