I second that. I think that evga makes some of the best 3rd party products.

Plus, evga has the step up program, which is nice if you want some more horsepower later

Another question....

Would overclocking my 9600GT give any noticable performance increase? Right now I am playing Fallout 3 on Ultra High settings and some AA + AF and I notice lagging at times.

Yes,You should notice a jump in FPS.
