I know that there are but the company I am purchasing this from will only supply either a 6800GT AGP system or a 2x 6600GT SLI system.
Or they do a 2x 6800GT SLI system for £2699

However...
I have been looking and I found this earlier today. Means I would have to save some wages for a few weeks for a monitor but it seems very sweet for the price - what do you think?

Would that be a better idea? I can wait a bit longer I've been waiting to actually buy this thing for 4 months

www.overclockers.co.uk is a good place to buy from. You have got a very nice budget, wish I had that sort of money for a pc.

heatsink wont fit.
instead of getting one harddrive, get two of these in raid 0 Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 Plus NCQ 160GB ST3160827AS SATA 8MB Cache - OEM (HD-015-SE) It is cheaper and will be faster.
edit: get a cable sleeving kit as well - you will need to get a molex remover
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/cable_sleeving.html
edit again: you may want to get the same make for the cd-rw and dvd-rw as it woulsd look a bit neater, but then you have a cover over your cd drives
also get a floppy drive, they are required for installation.
edit again: I assume you have a keyboard and mouse, yeah?
