G80 8800gts perform about the same as a 9600gt. In other words, significantly slower than 9800gtx+.

So for less than $200.00, my best option is the 9800 GTX+?

I don't think I am going with the SLI board. I was planning to get a P5QC mobo and a midrange pricing gpu.

However, I read something bad about the P5QC and I can't decide what mobo and GPU to get now.

I already have the rest of the system figured out and the system is sitting without a mobo and a GPU. /sadface.

Please help me on these 2 components.

PS someone shot me on the foot!!

When I posted that I had bought an 8800 gts 640mb SSC yesterday, everyone was like why? I got mine for 80 USD which I guess fits into thogroms "eh" category. Its sounds like you've got more more funds then me so you might as well go for the newer tech.

I'd say that's a good deal. A 9600gt, which cost more than that, performs about the same as stock g80 8800gts 640mb, and lower when oced. "New tech" or "Old tech" is irrelevant, they have no merit in and of themselves. Bottom line is performance/value. :p
