Advice needed

Hi

This is my first post, so be gentle! I initially started with a budget of £1200, but my greed has led me to this:

E6600
EVGA nForce 680(Socket 775) PCI Express DDR2 Motherboard
Cellshock 2GB (2x1GB) DDR2 PC2-6400C4 800MHz Dual Channel Kit
BFG 8800GTX
Belinea 2225S1W 22''
WD 250GB (7200rpm, 16MB Cache, SATA2)
Tagan TG600-U25 600W
Lian Li PC7 PLUS Aluminium Midi Tower
Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro CPU Coller
Arctic Silver 5 Thermal Compound (3.5g)

I am thinking of buying the Tenth Anniversary instead of the Cellshock. How do the two compare with each other, in terms of overclocking potential?
Is it worth buying a 680 mobo? I could perhaps go for a 975?
My monitor has no DVI. What difference will it make?

Thanks in advance.

Ok, I edited my first post to include only the expensive system. Your thoughts?

"You have to ask yourself if you going to see much diff between say the 6600 and the 6300."

I don't know! Can the 6300 handle GTX?

"Let me ask you a question..why do you want that motherboard?
It has lots of features, but do you need them?"

I thought going for a cheap 680 mobo, because I read it has more room for overclocking. Correct me if I am wrong. Perhaps a 975 will do the job just fine?
