Which GPU is the best bang for your buck?

The cooler on the EVGA GTX 460's is really good too. OC'd mine idles between 23 and 30 degrees C, and the hottest I've ever seen a game get it is somewhere in the high 50's/low 60's. Furmark on extreme burn will get it up to the low 70's, but that's it.

Thanks for the input :). I guess right now I am leaning towards the EVGA 1 gig GTX460 (as you have), but still thinking. What games do you play and how does the card handle them? I would imagine from what I have seen for charts, that it could play nearly any game max except for the select few such as Metro and crysis, although even on the highest settings for those it should be plenty playable.

I wouldn't have it if it wasn't fast. 8)

lol I see I see :P. Given that my inferior 8800GT still does pretty well with most games, I think its safe to assume that this will be just fine :P. Also in a couple years new consoles will come out and new cards to support the new wave of graphics standards, so I don't REALLY need some beastly card for just these next 2-3 years of games that won't really require it. Thanks for all the help!
