Take the view of moderate gamer who can't tell 5 fps from 15 fps. Is it worth saving $200 (roughly) to get the 7800 GT?

just got a BFG 7800GT, and a buddy of mine has the BFG 7800GTX, there is a small difference (like 20 fps MAX) so you decide if that 20 fps is worth almost $150. (to some people it is)

if you can't tell then get a mx440 
jk, sounds like you are destined towards the gt.

I was going to get the GT but the GTX was only about $60 more for the eVGA cards at Newegg. Not only do you get the faster GPU and Memory speed but you also get 4 more pipelines.

GTX definatley 4 more pipes and better in months to come.
I would buy the 7800GT,since you indicated that a small difference is not noticeable to you. I would then maybe upgrade to SLi when the prices do go down. On the other hand if you are like me a 7800GTX does matter, and more games will keep coming that need a lot more pipelines in the future. Plus 7800GTX will be cheaper in the future, so you can go SLi with that also for pwnage in gaming! Lol.

20FPS can be the difference between unplayable and perfectly playable. If you have the money, I'd spring for the GTX.

What is your cpu?
I'd say definately the GT. They all seem to overclock past stock GTX speed and no you don't notice the difference. And the money saved over any small difference is far far more worthwhile.

I'd go with the 7800GT unless money is of no concern to you. The premium you pay for the very best product is just not worth it unless you are a performance junkie. I will be building a gaming rig for my stepfather-in-law, and I have pretty much decided on the 7800GT. As someone else mentioned, I think it's the best bang-for-the-buck right now, and it will be more than enough to power games for at least the next 2-3 years.

Well, I don't know if the Athlon 64 3200+ will bottleneck the GTX, then again I plan on buying all my components on Blitz Day (first day after Thanksgiving where everything goes on sale). If the price goes down significantly I'll definitely be buying the GTX.
By the way, what's the lowest AMD processor that won't bottleneck the GTX?
