VS.

MSI NX8800GT 512M OC GeForce 8800 GT 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported

Which one is better? I was going to get the GT for 180 at newegg but i found the GTS for 100. Isnt the GTS better than the GT? But then howcome the GT has more megabytes ? I dont know anything about video cards...

-2gb corsair pc2 6400
-GIGABYTE GA-P35-DS3L

You should get the 8800GT because it performs better than the 8800GTS 320MB.
Note that the 8800GTS 320MB or the 640MB are old technology based on the G80 core. However, both the 8800GT 512MB and 8800GTS 512MB are based on the G92 core. Since you're upgrading to a bigger lcd monitor, I highly suggest going with the 8800GT 512MB.
