For 1000 pounds (2000 dollars?) you can get a pretty damn nice PC.

Go to falcon northwest their Talon computer is a pretty good computer at 2079 dollars.

Go for another one. That computer is good, but the graphics cards aren't that hot. Go for something with the 8800 GTS,

Yeah that's a pretty damn good gaming computer. If the GTS could just have 640 MB and not 320...

Wait a second! The 8800GT is a better performing card than the 8800GTS 640mb version. It is also cheaper too.

There is a new 8800GTS 512mb card that is going to be released some time this month, so I would wait. The new GTS is supposedly on par with a GTX from the benchmarks that I've seen.
