My extra 600 points on 3DMark06 say otherwise. But I was stuck getting it as I wanted the same GPU for SLi later on.

And its Sunday, mate. Let them clock in tomorrow morning.

I think that comes out to a bit more than 1500.

Very helpful, won't I need liquid cooling if it is Superoverclocked?

What about the 8800 GTX 768 MB?, is that way better than the 8800 GTS, or is there not such a huge difference?

Lol I am proud of having none, but Poseidon was generous and decided to give me some and I can't just delete it, so I have to take it

I agree with all of this but the HDDs. I would say go with a seagate 300-500GB drive and use the extra cash to get ye'self a 8800gtx. Just a random BF2s'ers opinion.

No point in listing that. UK prices are normally a lot higher that what they are in the states. So for a $1500 computer, you'd probably get the equivalent of a £900 computer.

Depends on your monitor. At higher resolutions it's a LOT better.

$1530 - but you've got more than $100 of mail in rebates that you can claim back.
