I dont think Foxconn Graphics Card are available here !

Well in my opinion you can go in for 8600GT from XFX ! Its more than fine and dont worry about overheating,These Cards can handle temps of upto 90 C !

Just Make Sure the Card you Buy has Active Cooling i.e. A Fan for Cooling the Card !

Go for ASUS EN8600GT dude, it is better than some GTS cards. Also provides good gaming experiences with DX10, will handle HD picture if u have a HD capable monitor.:)

get Asus 8600gt FOR 7~7.2K
they dun haf overheatin probs. Orelse get XFX 8600GT UDF7 and not UDF3.
UDF3 is for 6~6.2k while newer UDF7 will cost 7k or more. Only UDF3 haf heatin problem.
