Upgrading Vid cards, tough decision

[krazy_taco]

I will always want an 8800GTS, but the current price is definitely out of the question. I am in need of an upgrade from two Biostar Nvidia Geforce 7600GSs running in SLI. What would you guys reccommend as the BEST card in the 150-200 dollar range that will out perform my current set.

I would say, just wait. 8800GTS 320MB will probably drop in price soon once the Geforce 9 Series comes out.

I recommend this

It is only $136 after MIR
