DUAL SLI NVIDIA GeForce 8500 GT 256MB 16X PCI Express or 1 GeForce 8800 GTS 384 MB?

I want to play games approaching BF2 and C&C3

Answer:
The 8800 GTS is definitely the card to attain, but those who can't afford one or don't want to pay the extra money should look into the 8600 GTS. The 8500 GT is simply a advantage card that would get destroyed by a 7600 GT. The 8500 GT is close to the 7600 GS, it's mostly for OEM's like DELL and HP- for Christs sake it uses DDR2 memory instead of DDR3. It's really a rubbish of money since it won't be able to run DX10 games at adjectives resolutions.

You'll want a power supply of this caliber to power the 8800gts:
