Default Video Card Upgrade

Currently running 7800gtx x2 SLi. I'm looking to upgrade to either a single card or I guess I could do another SLi (I'd rather not). I'm looking to boost my FPS in Conan and any other upcoming games. Any suggestions?

I can not answer you but may I ask why you say " I guess I could do another SLi (I'd rather not). "
Because I whas thinking to buy a second card for my NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GT 256 mb to boost it up a little.

I'd like less hardware / more airflow in my tower to reduce the temperature

I just bought an 8800 GTS from New Egg, tackles Crysis (terrible game, btw) like a champ.

the 8800 GT is like 160 bucks on newegg right now with the rebate(best bang for buck) and its almost as good as the gts/gtx. But if you want something that'll last you the next couple years......
