The cheapest you will find on newegg is $155 and that's after rebates so yeah I would say $140 is a good deal.

I dont know if it is much of an upgrade over the 88GT though. If you can sell your 88GT for something then yeah that would be a good deal. Otherwise why not save that 140 till DX11 comes out in Q3/4
