can anyone help me out?

The 7900GT would be the best, and the price difference between the 7900 and 7800 is pretty small if you're buying new.

This is the order I feel would be (best to last):

7900GT
x1900GT
7800GT
x850XT PE

but the 7900GT has speeds of 470Mhz Clock Speed, 1.37Ghz memory, the x1900GT has faster speeds then this, how come it is not better?

cause there's more to a card than clock speed alone.

so what makes the 7900GT so much better tho? how much difference is there between the two cards?

The 7900GT has a higher memory speed, and has more pipelines.

 

[Master Mind]

so what is more important when over clockin, the memory speed or the engine speed??

7900GT has a stock speeds of 470Mhz clock speed and 1.32Ghz memory speeds, but most companys overclock there cards, for example MSI 7900GT has 500Mhz Clock speed, and 1.53Ghz memory speed.
