Looking to buy a 6950 any recommendations?

I'm looking for a graphic card for gaming, and figure I'll Bitcoin mine to help pay for it. Maybe even profit. I'll be overclocking the card. I have narrowed down the list to the 2gb 6950, but I'm not sure which card to get. Here is the list from Newegg. Any suggestions? (Wish I could post this in the hardware section)

I've been mining with a 4850 for about three weeks. I think I'll switch it out but I'm not sure.

I bought a 1gb Powercolor 6950 when it was dirt cheap from Amazon under 170 and have so far paid it off by about 1/3 already,honestly no game has so far been able to bog it down that I have and the temps are just ridiculously low @ 25-28C idle and 74-77 Full load overclocked by 67 Mhz.... even all day mining.I would recommend any card that has a twin fan design to keep the card cooler for overclocking as most should perform about the same unless you plan to unlock the shaders.
I bought it originally for the upcoming Skyrim game and to mine a bit in the meantime to pay off the card AND the game by release and should meet that goal with something to spare.I get about 350-360 Mh /s as I choose not to unlock my card......if unlocked over 400 Mhash seems attainable if the card can handle the overclock of a 6970.

I also am quite new running 2 6950s right now. you will easy get 330mhash sec w one card. I unplugged my old 5770 put the new 6950 in and with a >10min install of ati drivers was up and running and mining in no time. I personally am purchasing my cards from a local computer vender which warranties the card for 30 days personally then will handle all warranties for me if anything were to happen. I prefer this over the online purchasing method due to the fact that i can service my computer immediately if anything goes wrong instead of waiting 10+ days downtime for replacement parts if needbe. my first 5770 was doa so it has already paid off by using my local vendor. assuming u have a local vendor that can closely compete with online prices.
good luck
