I'd say go for the 6800GS if you must buy NOW, otherwise wait for the X1700 release and watch prices drop. You might be able to get a 6800GT or even a 7800GT for almost the same amount of money. 8)

the Powercolor X800GTO16 has I think 16 pixel pipelines.. experts says"the more pipeline a card has the better".

In either case the X800GTo-16. It's already 16 pipes, thus better than the GS at stock. And once OC'ed would probably still beat and OC'ed GS. So for either choice the X800GTO IMO.

However as has been mentioned it makes alot of sense to wait a few weeks until the X1700 is released and see what it has to offer and also what it does to prices of other cards in it's vacinity.

I Like My EVGA 7800GT Its PLENTY Powerfull, I Get 130FPS In Half-Life 2 w/4xAA And 8xAF With MAXIMUM Detail Settings @ 1600x1024 (My Wide-Screen 17.4" LCD Native Res) And F.E.A.R At The Exat Same Settings And Its A Smooth As Butter (And Thats Without Using SLI) And They Can Be Had For About $300.00 Flat

Just A Suggestion
