Vanquished - why would you be against the 8800 GTS 320mb so much you'd recommend a 7950GT over it? I've done extensive readings from just about every reviewer and they all show that a 320 is the same speed as the 640, on a per-game basis depending on the resolution. At 1600x1200 and up it starts to show its downfalls. However, an overclocked 320mb GTS spanks a stock 640mb GTS and comes close to the ranks of a stock GTX..
Bottom line, the 8800 *anything* is going to be miles ahead of any combination of 79xx series cards. The unified shader architecture literally revolutionized these GPUs. Not to mention.. you'd pay big money for a 7950GT and end up future-f*(#$#ng yourself because it lacks SM4.0 and DX10 support.
The aforementioned, as well as going with an AMD for that price, are my major concerns...
