Good for the price, yes. EVGA cards are great, and they have excellent warranties and after-sales support.

Goober that one of the first make of the GTX 560 that came out with the CUDA Cores 336 the GTX 560 Ti have better FPS rate there are 2 model of them with 384 and 448 CUBA Cores. If it was me I would put together a little more money and go with the GTX 570, I had a EVGA SC GTX 570 and it was a good card I just replaced it with a GTX 670. Her a reveiw on the 570 they tested it on 8 games and it give you the FPS. There also some review on the gtx 560 on there site. http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/forum/hardware-canucks-reviews/39912-evga-geforce-gtx-570-superclocked-review.html

Though the 560 has 2gb of VRAM. If you run high-res displays or lots of AA, you may find that 1.2gb is not enough...

Or you can consider getting and AMD card. I've had many ATI/AMD and Nvidia cards, and at any time, the price/performance is euqal with wither, and I've had equal experiences with both. Get a price point, and look for sales.

I'd offer up my spare 6950 2gb, but it seems I may have to send my 7970 in - i think a fan is starting to go funky. Sad

Yes, it's barely over the 200 you're looking to spend, but it's a pretty fine price. it's quite a bit quicker than the 560, has 2gb of VRAM, and the shaders can be 'unlocked'.

Get me to wondering: what do you ahve for a PSU? It'd be pretty lame to score a beefy card and not be able to power it properly.
