Overclocked 3870 or 8800 GTS (G92)

I'm in the process of putting together a new rig and can't decide on the card. I've been an nVidia fan for many years but am open to change. I'd like the best performance I can get without having to wait much longer. I'm also a beginner at OC'ing so the easier the better.

The rest of the system as follows:
Q6600 G0
Gigabyte GA-EX38-DQ6 Mobo
4GB DDR2-800
Dual Monitors (22" Wide and 19")

Any thoughts?

Not necessarily. I've seen the GTS cards down to about $230.

If you can spend over $200, get the GTS. If your budget is more limited, get an overclocked 9600GT or 3870.
 
An 8800GTS (G92) will more than likely overclock like a monster. Mine was stable @ 800MHz (gpu) on the stock cooler. That was with the fan @ 75% though.
