Depends how much money you want to spend and what you need from it.

Hercules and Sapphire make ATI based cards. As for GF4 I would recommend either Leadtek, Gainward, MSI, or Abit. Although my GF4 ti 4200 isn't made by any of the ones I have said its made by PNY.

the overclocking store are more expensive but there is no shipping charge, better if ure buying one thing sometimes, most of the time, especially with many items overclockers are better.
dabs are overcharging rats made for the 'family' shopper that doesnt have a bloody clue what they are buying.
apart from the b grade stock which is actually where i got my liteon re-writer, very sexy.

yes but hes doesnt want it until he makes a new complooter
and the chance of him buying all the bits is pretty slim, the chance of him putting them together right is fucking tiny.
