hmm..both are good setups btw.i dont know why u are crazy abt tri sli for 9800GTX
but if i were to buy i'd choose either-
780i + 8800GTS or GT in Sli- this can also be done with MSI 750i which gives better overclocking than EVGA 780i
or
IX38 Quad GT/Bonetrail + 3870X2 and later add another one.

bro why have you chosen 780i r u interested in sli, if not than buy a abit ip35-e & 9800GX2
& if you have only these two option then my take is First one.
bro it is sensible to buy one powerful GF rather buying two average cards & pairing them, so if you have any idea to buy two 9800gtx then i will advice you to drop it & buy a single GX2. rest it is upto you

this is will cost 9+32=>41k. way too much than the 32-33k i intend to spend.
i have chosen 780i, because i want to SLI, only when the prices drop, and the card i buy now struggles to perform with games.

dude my suggestion is just one... dont wait for a price drop for SLI... just think this way....
u buy 8800GT now and wait for another for after some months... but then a better card is out... will it be not better to but that instead of using the same old card for SLI purpose...

I suggest you buy ATI Radeon™ HD 3870 X2 as GPU

^^^ i am buying a new rig this week as well.... better do one thing... get a cheap card like 7200 for now and wait for the new 4XXX series from ATI ( as heard it is the most powerful card and will not be very costly as well)...

u are absolutely right. but there will be price difference between the "new card" and "old card". and it will not be a small difference.
and also at present the GT is most VFM. GTS is good VFM too. 9800GTX onwards the performance difference starts to come down, while the price difference starts to go up.
but i want a 9 series card, which can hold it sown for a while (though it will not be too long). What use is it buying a series 8 card which has already been out since 2006?
@ajay & @nish
i have to say the specs look too good to believe.
1>lets say the card is as good as they say it is,
2>what makes you think it will be cheap in india?
3>what makes you think it will be available in the same month as it is internationally released?
But incase i change my mind, and do what "ajayashish" is doing (about buying the GPU), which mobo+gpu combo should i go for now?
(in such a case i definitely want to spend as less as possible for the gpu)

if waiting for 4870 series- definitely IX38 quad gt..if u can afford ddr3 then bonetrail
GPU=some cheapo-8400GS
if waiting for some nvidia wonder- XFX 780i Sli for tri-sli or MSI P7N Sli for dual
and regarding its price-its known that it will be priced less
availability-max 10 days after launch. 3870X2 was available within a week

MSI P7N is a 680i chipst right? but nforce 6 series, dont do justice with quad cores....
btw - should i save some money, by going for 750i ftw? which i can hopefully use to get a better GPU.
eg 750i ftw + 2x 8800GT SLI ->around 35k
lets see...

Msi p7n sli is 750i sli..better than evga
and ur wrong about 680i and quads..i know coz i own both of them and a 780i too.and i think p5n32e sli is most sold asus board,its also 680i.
btw MSI 8800GTS 512 OC *asia.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=proddesc&prod_no=1370&maincat_no=130&cat2_no=136&cat3_no=
is available for rs16650

Heres my 2 cents:
1)A 9800Gx2+780i if u can afford it
2)3870x2 + abit quad gt OR 780i + 2x8800gt sli
the performances of a 3870x2 and 8800gt sli are very close to each other but the 3870x2 has an advantage of crossfir, u can later crossfire 2 3870x2s wen prices drop and the config will last u a long time.tats wat i plan to do anyway..my 3870x2 can handle every game at thhe highest settings with 4xAA under DX10 at 1600x900(except for crysis..i run tat at all very high no AA) and i bet it can keep running all games at very high for another 1-1.5 years...add another 3870x2 then and it will last even longer i dont think ter is any game tat requires more tan 2-3870x2s...chek this out
