I'm building a new PC and I need advice on the graphics. Mychoice fell on the 7900 XT, but I just can't decide on which card, Sapphire Nitro+ or PowerColor Hellhound? Thanks in advance for your reply.

The clocks on the Sapphire card are higher though they are both the same GPU underneath. If the cards both cost the same, you have a reliably built 850W unit to power your entire system and if your case doesn't ahve clearance limitations, I'd pick the Sapphire card.
 
I will choose the case based on the graphics card. if I choose sapphire, considering that it has 3x8 pin connectors, which power supply to take without it being enormously expensive. does it have to have a 3x8 pin on the power supply or do I have to buy some special extensions?

I reckon most capable PSU's will have at least 4 x 8 pins, and should be more than enough for a 3 x 8pin GPU.

You have to use independent 8pins, strait cable from PSU for each 8pin!
