    Online games is what settles it. If it's msn poker and eve online then you don't need a powerful one, if it's counter strike source, UT2004, Quake 4, Stalker, etc. you want a powerful one.

    Depends what you've already got.

    As for the transport, an anti-static bag.

    If you use a separate graphics card, that website's not relevant.

    try taking the videocard from the agp slot if you have a card in there & just use the onboard videocard, the Integrated Real 256E 3D Graphics - Memory Max. 64MB

    Hehe, I'm on the other side of the county in York!
    The problem with Maplin and PC World is that they'll charge you a fortune for individual components. Buy something like this:
    http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/ProductInfo.asp?WebProductID=466649

    Before you say that's expensive, bear in mind Maplin will happily charge you £70 for a 6200, which is a quarter of the speed of the 7600GS.
