So I'm all set to buy a Leadtek (Winfast) 6800GT 256MB PCI-Ex. - but my
comp. store has none in stock. Who knows when they'll get more in.

Anywho, any other trusted brands out there you all could recommend? Or
brands to steer clear of?

The other card they have that is around the same price as the Leadtek is the
MSI. I have pretty much no knowledge about MSI - are they good? Trustworthy?
Pros and Cons about their cards?

Any help is much appreciated.
