    8800GTX is the simple answer.

    As to why better in every department possible;
    Better image quality
    Better AA
    Better AF
    Better at DX9
    Good architecture for DX10
    Better at OpenGL
    Better than a 7950GX2 which is basically 2x7900GT SLI setup.
    Unified architecture makes it better at console game ports from Xbox360 or games developed for both platforms.

    The only thing you need to check is that you have a 500W PSU as that is a requirement you cannot go under.
