i think this 8800gt beats out all others for price/performance: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814125088
that heatsink is a lot better then the one that comes on stock 8800gt's, and you can tell that those cards are great overclockers, since the core comes clocked at 700mhz stock.

I think you are wrong there, the stock heatsink on a 8800GTS 512mb G92 is better then that of a 8800GT G92 if I am not mistaking?
I'll search benchtemps later.

I'd recommend getting the GTS, it isn't that much more, it's well worth it. The cooler is better and you can OC them pretty well, I have mine @ 800/2000/1000. I'm sure I could go higher, but I haven't tried.

Either the GT or GTS....i suppose you would be able to OC the GTS more but tbh unless your planning on running crysis very high then both these cards can handle pretty much anything else you throw at it at default settings.
just go round dannys house and nick his

Bulzeye, everything you need to know for sure is that that 8800GTS is the 512mb version. The 320mb or the 640mb version are no good at all nowadays, please make sure you have the 512 megabyte version!
DISCLAIMER-If you don't buy the 512mb but instead of that you buy the 320/640, you're a complete idiot... SO THERE, it had to be said.
