The difference in price is not that big. you should go for the more expensive one no matter what as you'll only spend 12$ more.

But im partial to EVGA myself, however that website gives you little to no details about the product.

Buy off newegg.

Yeah...something isn't right with those prices. For lower the price you could get an 8800GTX from newegg... so definitely buy off of newegg.

BTW,heres the BFGTech 8800GTX OC thats less than both of those($529) :

Wow,prices there are bull. They are selling pretty much the same gtx for 900$!!?? Wow... I'd stay clear from that place man,those prices are absurd.

Its not that easy, but not impossible to get stuff shipped from the states to australia.

Both of the previous posters are not factoring in the country differences.
617.646 AUD is what the conversion rate is for Bens supplied product.
However from a store they bung on about %30 with gst etc..
