send back 8500 for 8600?
I have this card, an Asus EN8500GT silent:

Is it worth sending it back and getting this one, http://www.shoppingsquare.com.au/p_794_ ... VIDEO_CARD an 8600, which I hear is better? It's got a fan, but I have a HR-03A http://www.pccasegear.com/prod5082.htm coming anyway, would that be ok on the 8600?
It's going in a P182 with a 120mm fan blowing over it from the middle fan location.
No gaming really, but a bit of pic and vid editing and I want a bigger monitor, currently 19"
Worthwhile? Or should I do something else?

Thanks for all the advice. Considering the lack of gaming I do, the $20 restocking fee I just found out about and the inconvenience, I will stick with the 8500 with the HR-03A (just about to lap and mount) and try overclocking it if I need more performance and can figure out what OC'ing is all about!
