my god!! your stuff is way more expensive in the UK!!! anyway, It might be a good idea to save a little extra and get an 8800 GTS, but Im not sure if any DX10 only games are gonna come out very soon, so maybe you could stick with the 7900 GS.

BTW: I have windows vista home premium and Im gonna tell you, I wouldent pay 40 dollars for it. That's about 20 greater british pounds, windows xp is fine

lol ty dude for the vista info. Yeah ano its really starting to pi*s me off teh pricing. itd prolly be cheaper to fricken import it from over there. So would u suggest the 7900 GS over the 8600?
