Does anyone know where I can buy a Gainward Bliss 7800GS+ here in the States, or a retailer in the UK that will ship it here? The Gainward is based off of the 7900 architecture and has either 20 or 24 pipes instead of the reg 16 here in the States...

Probably cheaper to upgrade your cpu, a comparable quality video card to pci-e, and grab a new motherboard then it would be to get one of those.

I just bought the 7800 GS+ from Overclockers UK but it's taking a while to ship overseas. Yes it is costly. But it certainly isn't an average card either.

I'll make the switch to PCI-E towards the end of the year, prolly a X-Fire based system. In the meantime, this card seems like it'll be more than adequate to run pretty much everything out there, especially paired with a good dual core proc.
