GPU Urgent Help!!

So in the next week or so I will be making a build log of my new rig. As it stands the last piece I need to pick out is my GPU. Right before I was about to hit to buy button for my eVGA gtx 280 FTW edition it sold out

So while just browsing hardforums... yada yada yada... I managed to talk a guy into selling my 2x eVGA 8800 Ultra Superclocked Editions for $500 shipped.

This is where you guys come in! What do you guys think? It will cost a little over 700 for the FTW vs. 500 for the two ultras. Money is not a huge issue but it does mean I can put it else where.

so... help!! I can't decide!

DOH THIS IS LILYANG MY BRO NEEDS TO STOP LOGGING IN ON MY COMPUTER

sweet I can edit the 1st post!! (Big Yang)

Look what arrived for LiL Yang yesterday



Q6600
EVGA 750i FtW SLi
Antec Modular 850 watt PSU
2 x 2GB OCZ SLi PC? not sure
Zalmann 9700


Oh & here's my "pile"



Specs are in Sig, case won't be here until next week probably...so I may go case-less for a wee bit

oh and here's one that just arrived for me (Big Yang )

Personally I'd go with a 280 and pocket the rest of the change Yang.

I am pretty sure that two ultras beat out the 280 by a little bit however this is 2 cards vs 1.

280 is more expensive VV, so no change in pocket
