Quick advice?

Both are really good cards, especially since they're within $10 of each other. If it were my choice, I'd go for the X1800XT, but that's pretty much just because I'm an ATI fan due to their superior image quality over nVidia. And heck, if you're going to use the gamepad, go for it since it's only a $10 increase.
 
I second the x1800xt. It's a kickass card, overclocks on stock cooling like a bat out of hell, and you get the gamepad. You won't be disappointed at all.
 
If that ATI card doesn't support crossfire, you may get quite a suprise when you decide to get your second card.
 
the ATI will work in the SLI mobo right? im not planning on doing SLI/Crossfire

i am but what are the prices and when exactly will it be out?

Well, like he said, it will probably be 16 days, but nobody's entirely sure. Also, the X1900XT could cost as much as $200 more as an X1800XT.

It supports crossfire, he'd just need to get the crossfire edition as the second card.

Oh, and it should work in an SLI mobo. Don't know about crossfire in an SLI mobo though.
