Regular 8800GT or Overclocked 8800GT?

[Source-X]

Yes, I know overclocked 8800GT is better than regular 8800GT but it is really worth to buy overclocked 8800GT for like $290 or it is better to buy cheaper regular 8800GT which is about $260 and overclock it like EVGA SSC's specs (700mhz, 2ghz etc) and save about $30?

I can say it's your luck.
Factory overclocked GPU are tested means they select the chips which can do higher clock. But it doesn't mean the regular clock are not a good selected chips. When you are on the luck you can get a regular GPU but you can OC it more than the factory overclocked GPU.

It's really your choice. If you want to save budget, take the regular one. You can spend those 30 bucks for other things. Besides, 8800GT regular are fast enough to play recent games.
