Coming close to a decision! Opinions on this gaming rig...
I need to make a pc as portable as possible. Pretty much decided against a laptop as I can't get the one I want for the budget, so probably going to go for a shuttle:
(thanks to Egosh for this!!)

As for graphics cards...
The geforce 8800GTS on offer through OC
:Http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-054-OK&groupid=701&catid=56&subcat=877
OcUK GeForce 8800 GTS 320MB GDDR3 HDTV/Dual DVI (PCI-Express)
500MHz Core, 320MB 1600MHz GDDR3 Memory - £171.54
Or is it worth paying £30 more to get:
BFG GeForce 8800 GTS OC2 320MB GDDR3 HDTV/Dual DVI (PCI-Express)
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-044-BG&groupid=701&catid=56&subcat=877
580MHz Core, 320MB 1700MHz GDDR3 Memory --£202.09
Or is it simply a matter of overclocking the cheaper g/card with software to get the same performance as the more expensive card?
Using the cheaper card...that comes to:
£758.98 inc VAT
My budget is £900 ish... but I need a TFT monitor.
Been recommended this one:
Hyundai ImageQuest B91D 19" LCD Monitor - Black -£176.24

Is there any other monitor I should be looking at? Any other part of the spec thats worth changing?
