If future proofing is your goal you should wait a little time for the new Intel platform to come out.
Actually, having owned a 7900 GTX, the bigger reason I am going with the 8800GTS is that its quieter. All the reviews I've read say this. Smaller mfg process = more energy efficient = softer fan.

If this weren't the case, I probably WOULD go with the 7 series.

As for waiting for a new chipset... well, not that worried. The current one will serve me fine for several years, at which point I can simply upgrade the mobo.

Logic, logic, logic. Logic is the beginning of wisdom, Valeris, not the end.
