Do you just need the box, or do you need keyboard, monitor, operating system etc?

You could get the parts and pay a little to have it built at a local computer shop. That would probably get you more bang for your buck.

dont you think 800 quid will get me much for my money?

Theyre on a par performance wise, the ATI has the advantage though because a P45 board allows crossfire at a later date
Edit: Oh and to the OP that spec lynchy has done looks spot on, Id go for that
