Why would you even consider the second option?

You could easily overclock the 2.4Ghz Quad to 2.6Ghz.

Option 1 The Q6600 easily overclocks to 3GHz on stock cooling and stock voltage

I've heard a lot of bad things about 8800GT in SLI; power consumption, Bottle necks and Frame rate decrease.... especially on a 19inch screen.

I see...

Well there's someone who posts in the Hardware/Software section that has 8800GTs in SLI... Maybe you could find him and have a chat

I highly doubt that, although the resolution you play at might factor into it...
