Hi all,
I'm about to buy a new graphics card since my old card is biting more and more dust (metaphorically speaking).
Been looking at this card from EVGA
PSU is not a problem, motherboard fits it all fits, so my questions is:
Is it a good card? Bang per buck?
What's your opinion?
Yep, it's a decent bang for buck card :)
This thread should give you a good idea where it sits in the overall rankings:

I like the EVGA cards but they are not the cheapest, here is one of the same spec but you will probably pic one up allot cheaper
Palit Microsystems Ltd.
too bad you missed this sale!
eVGA E-GEFORCE GTX 260 Core 216 576MHZ 896MB 1.99GHZ GDDR3 PCI-E Dual DVI-I HDCP HDTV Out Video Card - $198.88 after $20 rebate
Canadian too!
I live in Denmark, and had a look at Palit cards, they don't have any of the newer cards, only 8800GTX and downwards, and still very scarce.
That is one monster of a card. My friend is running it, and its a beast. Great buy, pretty good price too I think!

Ok I've got it, and installed and everything! Played Crysis and the game runs smooth like a baby's behind! Anyone who can name me a few games I ought to try with my new card?
Yep that card has had good reviews. Whenever I need new hardware I check out youtube (yep it sometimes is a good source for hardware reviews) and hardware review sites.
That's the 55nm version of the card I got from eVGA as a Step-up - I have 2 of them, the 1256 (stock base model) and another 1256 with BIOS settings at SSC speeds.
Trust me - you'll like it a lot, unless you're stepping down from something more powerful - and that is hard to do with these cards.
Get the eVGA Precision utility as well from the eVGA website, and the EVT.
