Ok I'm looking at 2 PCIe Video cards both XFX
Newegg.com - XFX GeForce 7900GS PVT71PUDD3 Video Card - Retail 600/1600 $190 (AR)

and

Newegg.com - XFX GeForce 7600GT PVT73GUGD3 Video Card - Retail 590/1600 $127 (AR)

The 7600 is very close to the 7900 so if a 10mhz O/c will if run the same in games and benchmarks?

Thanks!

Erm...nope. Those cards are in pretty different leagues. Sure, they may be around the same speeds memory and core-wise, but the 7900GS has 20 pipelines, and the 7600GT only 12 - basically it's a whole different core. There's no way you'll reach 7900GS performance by overclocking, even with watercooling.

A 7900GS would be the better choice
