I would see if you can find a 7900GTO. The 7900GTO is an underclocked 7900GTX, which is SLIGHTLY better than the 7950GT.

If you can get the GTO, get the Op 195. Then in a few months when cheaper/better 8000 series cards come out, and you actually have a use for DX10 cards, then get one.

Talked to nVidia, and they have some new 8000 series GPU's coming out soon. My rep there is a corporate rep, and does not follow the consumer line up so he did not have full details. But I expect we'll see some at CES...

Edit:
Checked Newegg, and did not find the 7900GTO for sale there any more. They were a limited production. So the 7950GT would be a good option Smile
