XFX has a better warranty, I would say they are the better brand overall from reputation. The new Direct x 11 (the cards you're looking at are 10) cards from AMD will definately be here between now and Windows 7 release so you could hold off on the purchase of the GPU until then and get everything else now right? Direct X 11 is important because not only will you get a faster card overall, Direct X 11 will produce better visuals and require less performance than a direct X 10 card would to do the same. They should cost $250-$300 for a top end card and $150-200 for a mid -> high end card.

but the cards will not drop until Octoberish probably and then you have to wait for it to drop in price because companies like that want to catch the first costumers with the "premium" price so you are looking at a 4-8 months time of waiting for a decent price. I've seen it happen all the time with the core 2 Duo and every new Nvidia Generation cards. I think what I'm going to do is get a decent card now and see what happens with the new cards because even DX10 took a long time before getting fully utilize and I don't think DX 11 will be that different.
