Really theyre both basically the same, it doesn't matter either way.
Last year ATI was ahead, the 4870x2 outperformed Nvidia's fastest card the GTX 280, but now Nvidia are ahead with the GTX 295 being faster than the X2. Soon ATI will come out top again, but again only for a short time. They're both good, just in some cases games work better on one than the other.
I wouldn't get the 9800, its pretty old and not very good, if you have the cash get one of the other two, preferably the 295 as it performs better in most games.
I got it from a custom computer store near me, you wouldn't know them they're just a local business, but they do make excellent PC's made to your specification.
And I saved a good amount over buying from Alienware (which is what I was first planning), it cost me about £2200 inc. the monitor and warranty (It also had some other bits like a TV Tuner and SoundBlaster Card which made it more expensive). Not a bad deal.
