Thanks for the suggestions. I'm looking into the 6800 and the 6800 GT. What do you think is the best manufacturer for its price and is it worth going for the GT ?

Do not get the 6800, get the 6800 GT. The performance for the extra $100 is unbelievable due to the fact that it has 16 pipelines compared to 12.

Don't buy the cheapest... get the eVGA 6800GT it is the best and can be easily overclocked past ultra settings. I'm not sure where to get them in the uk though... I'll look for you.

And I can't find it anywhere.
