So I am pretty sure I have decided on a 4870 for my new build, but after browsing Newegg for what feels like hours, I still don't know which one of the dozens of 4870's to choose. I know I want a 1gb model, and was thinking this one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102801 but am not sure if I am making the best decision, so decided to ask for advice. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks.

Looks good to me. There isn't a lot of variation in most of them (surprisingly) so in terms of the specs, one is just as good as another. Sapphire is a good company for AMD-based vid cards - they were the de facto standard for ATI-based vid cards for a long time.

I say pull the trigger. Unless you can afford a 4870 X2?... ;) :p
