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

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.

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.

Sweet, that'll do for most any single card.
