Getting a new graphics card but which one?
I get to choose between the:
MSI GeForce GTX 460 Fermi Cyclone OC 725MHZ 768MB GDDR5 Dual DVI Mini-HDMI DX11
or
XFX ATI Radeon HD5830 1 GB DDR5 2DVI/HDMI/DisplayPort PCI-Express Video Card HD583XZAFC
I can get both of them at around the same price, so I thought about getting the HD5830 but then I heard some good stuff about the GTX 460's cooling & noise reduction so I don't know which one to get. Help?

All signs point to the 460; it's equal to or better than the 5830. Also, if you ever go SLI it would scale better.
