Spec me a beast?

[Lister2020]

Ok, I got £1000, £1200 MAX. Don't need an OS, KB+M, Monitor, Sound system, Webcam all that kind of stuff.

I'm hoping that for the £1200(MAX) I can get a quad core, with a 8800GTX, and all the other bells and whistles. Is this achieveable?

Also, Does Overclockers let you pay in installments? Just I only got £500 spare at the mo and I'd Ideally pay off £100 a month.

Looks sweet. Thanks. The 9800 going to be justifiable with the price and performance difference?

Will you be overclocking?

Yes, they now offer financing.

EDIT: You asked for a beast. How about SLi GTXes and 8 GiB RAM?

no need for 8GB or ram

two Raptors in raid 0 and a 500GB hard drive for storage works nicely

EDIT: but BillytheImpaler spec would be a beast, just a little OTT
