Don't be too focussed on 3DMark scores too. Playability in real world apps is far more important IMO, and there's very little diff in PCIE2.0 vs 1.1 at this point.

What's with the 40GB IDE HDD? Hope you're only using it as a data disk..
If the system partition lives on it it'll definitely bottleneck your PC lol.

Why are you running Crossfire if your monitor is 1680X1050? A single card will be more than enough for anything at that res, even Crysis.

Yup exactly. The factory overclock is worth it due to the warranty, furthermore has a stronger cooler.

Good features, but economically viable?

Dunno how far can it go, the mem clock is just too low compare to sapphire one. But the 8pin is a good for oc, for me also useless la, i only got 6 pin, so the extra 2 pins cannot ulitilize by my psu lolz. For me, investing in a aftermarket cooler doesnt mean u lose. Heck, u can use it for the newer card in future probably. So, there are advantages and disadvantages.

Lol no offense, but I think connecting an 8pin to your PSU will actually be suicide. The specs on that connector allow for 150W to be drawn. That'd probably fry your 12V rail..
