    As a couple have said, stick with AGP for now, plump for a 6800GT and lets face it, you're gonna be fine for a while, just have to decide on 4x AA or 8x AA...

    Nice choice to have btw!!!

    Listen guys, my dad said he is gonna try and sell my whole PC, so that means all new components!!! I will have about 450 quid to blow and there is this nice MOBO which is Socket 939, so I might buy a AMD X2 3800 and this MOBO has AGP and PCI-E! So I can buy a 6800GT now and upgrade later without upgrading anything else! thanks alot guys!

    I would keep your existing 3.2 pentium and get a 6800GT. Given Nvidia have just dropped the prices, it will take about a 1month to filter through to the re-sellers,as they get rid of their old stock that they bought at higher prices and replace them with new stock which they will get at lower prices.

    Just missed on a good X800Pro on the Ebuyer site which was £130+vat. They've just increased the cost to £160+vat. But this will come down in a month. Personally, I recommend the 6800GT, as it can handle all games at high quality without a problem.
