However, if I were you, I would get 7900GT or even 8800(later) cause they are much better than 7900GS

Thanks.
Unfortunately my budget wouldn't allow such a move to the 7900GT. I payed £100 for the 7900GS. The 7900GT is at least another £35 to £40 minimum and I doubt that the performance increase is of the scale of 30 to 40% as the price increase is. I guess I wanted a mid rage card for as cheap as possible to last me 1.5 years by which time I hope a new generation of DX10 cards will be out. These should improve greatly on the 8800GTX for no way near the premium that they currently are. I simply cannot justify the price of a 8800GTS (£320) or a 8800GTX (near £400) and somehow I don't think that my wife would be sold on the idea no matter how hard I tried.  Ad don't forget that the 7900GS also has a good reputation for overcocking so I hope to squeeze a little bit more bang for buck out of it. 
Speak of the devil. Look what Santa has just delivered early for me this Christmas.  Let the work begin.
