Advice/Help with new videocard

Hi,
My 8800 gtx has just crapped out
Just gibberish graphics and I need to replace asp.
Any ideas as to whats a good alternative nvidia?
MB is an Intel D975XBX2 with a core 2 duo 6600.
Is the 925 an option do you think. I have 750 w power.
Any ideas greatly appreciated.
Stuart.

Hi,
No not Germany although my newsgroup provision is
I did mean the GTX 295 - - sorry for wrong info in op.
I have since made a decision to go for a GTX 285 as I needed something a
bit less open to problems you described.
Its a good bit cheaper too and I should get it by Tuesday
I've stuck with nvidia though as I quite like them - - - even if the 880 gtx
did not last as long as hoped
Thanks for your reply.
Stuart.
