As a fellow Canuck, go to NCIX.com and you will find the best prices there.

If I were you I'd scrape together another $50 CAN and get one of these or if you can get a bit more together go for the 640 mb version.

Buying last gen cards is never a very good idea. anything below a 8800gts is going to be slow in a year. I have an 8600GT and while it plays all my games well it only has 256mb of ram and its 128bit memory is just too slow for my liking.
