personally i prefer evga for videos cards, but i dont think it would make any difference in this case... plus what completely throws that argument out the window is the fact that the BFG one you linked has active cooling and the evga has passive.. if you plan to play any games, you should stay away from passive cooling..

my backup card (a cheapo 7300 i believe) has passive cooling and it works fine for everyday stuff but it gets real warm when playing games or doing anything that pushes it..

so if it was my decision i would get the 6200 OC
