7900GTX in SLI would be top of the line.

Do you mean 2x 7900GTX in SLI or x2 X1900XTX in Crossfire?

I would personally get 1 7900GTX, it will perform any game out now and for a good amount of time or med-high settings depending on your system. Then as time goes on, you can either get another for SLI or buy the latest card out.

It depends, what are you using the computer for?

I am assuming its for gaming, what games do you play?

Ofcourse two 7900gtx in SLI would be better than one 1900xtx...

Or are you comparing two 7900gtx in SLI vs. two 1900xtx in crossfire?
