Seeing as you can get these two cards for about the same price these days, I was wondering which I would be better off with? Logically, the 7900 would be the better option, but a friend of mine said to go with the 7800. What do you knowledgeable lot think?

You be mad to buy a 7800gtx for the same price as a 7900gt now..(unless you already own one 7800gtx and want to add the second for SLI)

7900GT all the way mate, consumes less power and performs better - http://www.firingsquad.com/hardware/nvidia_geforce_7900_gt_gtx_performance/default.asp
However a second hand 7800GTX might be better value.

That friend of yours needs some logic 
even my standard 7900gt was able to reach 550/1800 without any modification, just a VF900.
Compare that to a 7800GTX at 500/1300 for example, the 7900 is a clear winner. also cheaper
