I think 8600GT will work fine with your procy..

Same here .....:D

Go for the ASUS EN8600 GT, it's a fantastic card with more than average performance from a 8600 GT.

^^ I agree. The Asus card is slightly more expensive compared to XFX. But they have a better cooling solution so you can overclock it easily.:D:D:D

My XFX 8600GT runs at 75-80C under load.. so i cant OC it:(

Go for the ASUS EN8600 GT - It's a superb performer card.
