Hmmm, I am sure there was a thread or two about making a PC with the same kind of budget just the other day...

But for that price you could get, off the top of my head, a top of the range quad-core and SLI mobo, some kind of killer gfx card (2 x 9800GTX or at least 2 x 8800GT...), a couple of 500GB HDD's, a couple of 22" screens...etc...:)
 
I think it's only Prophecy's prices that include vat ...... but I could be wrong.
 
Most online computer shops include VAT ... take a look at my site, when you click on a product, look at the price ... just below it, it says including VAT.
 
there you go, eita is around .......... reap that business bru :D

Vat inc. R17665

And i am keeping my ram and hD's
 
I would say rather get 2 4870's and Crossfire them for about the same price ... but thats just me :p
Then you go for a Intel chipset if you want to do this.
If you don't decide to do this ... and want to stick with 9800gx2, the 1000w is overkill, rather get a 750w or 850w unless you are planning on running these in SLI in future.
 
Oh ya ... and I signed the merchant documents today ... will get my merchant number tomorrow, and should have credit card facilities in about 2 weeks ... woo hoo :p ... and the commission I am paying is lowish, so I only have to up the more expensive items by 1%, all other items stay fixed ... hows that ;)

Before I'd slightly agree with your ATI comment, but currently ... ATI is killing the competition ... ask almost anyone on this forum :p
