Haha yeah just being over dramatic, this isn't the biggest decision, not even close...but its important none the less! For my future system ( being 3 months or so from now ) I still can't decide wether to go with the GTS or GTX.
Reasonings for going with the GTX-
A much bigger performance differance between the two models, just check out all the benchmarks at the website:

" While the price difference is definitely there for the GTS and GTX, the performance gains are fantastic and there is a real difference between owning a GTS and a GTX."
Reasons for going with the GTS instead-
I don't plan on getting a crazy wide screen lcd monitor and just play to play on regular resolutions 1280 and the article puts it nicely:
"The GTX isnÂ’t for anyone who isnÂ’t going to be venturing past 1600 x 1200 otherwise it simply would be extreme overkill for your needs. The GTS is going to let 1280 x 1024 LCD users get ready for DX10 but also have a huge amount of video bandwidth available to play all those intensive games like Oblivion with settings turned all the way up, without completely breaking the bank. "
In conclusion a really hard decision that I'm still stuck on. A lot say if I'm going to dish out that much money for a good system to just go with the best...but at the same time I always hate going with the high end models in that I'm going to be paying an extra premium. but their performance is a lot different. Although I don't plan on playing at crazy high resolutions I still want a card that can last me 2-3 years, anyone have any serious suggestions on which card I should go with and why?
