Ok, so my mind was made up and I was going with SLI 9600gt as soon as I found them sub $140 each for a final price of around $300. But now I have a friend who wants to dump his bfg 8800gtx:

He says he'll give it to me for $280...now reading their warranty page it looks like i should be ok and can maintain the warranty so not so concerned there.
Is $280 that good a deal for the BFG? I've never owned a BFG card before so not familiar with their hardware....but essentially it's all mostly the same correct? Anyways, reviews seem to show the SLI 9600gt to edge out the gtx except in crysis which is not an issue, i don't play.
With my cosmos 1000 case space isn't an issue and my mobo evga 590 supports sli so it's pretty much straight up; SLI 9600gt or 8800gtx.
Anyways, any real reason to go to the GTX other than there is less to go wrong than with a SLI setup? and with this used guy i might save a few bucks?
[edit] don't know if it makes a difference one way or another but come July I'll be upgrading to a 22" LCD [/edit]
