OK, this HTPC is meant for some serious gaming and I would really like it to stress the advantages of the PC next to the Playstation 3 without showing any compromises. The 8800GTS actually predates the PS3, but I'm hoping to brute-force superiority by getting two of the 640MB ones for about $650 total.
Now, it occurred to me that this might not be the best time to be investing in what will soon be last gen, so I am willing to use my current 7800GT SLI with this system until the first deal on the next generation arrives. Which is the better option? 8800GTS 640MB SLI now using this deal or instead just jump on the first deal I see for whatever nVidia makes next with my current 7800GT SLI being used as a hold-over (considering that it may take a while for a similar deal).
