On choosing a need graphics card and a headset and both must not be that expensive. I have a rough idea on the graphics card but not the headset.

Gigabyte GV-NX66T128VP GeForce 6600 GT Turbo Force Edition
128Mb XFX GF6600GT
128MB Leadtek WinFast A6600 GT TDH
Not sure which one to have as I need a new card to play B.F 2 as I currently have a Geforce 2 MX

For the headset I was set on having a Logitech Precision Gaming Headset but that is impossible to find anywhere in shops online or on the high street. So any ideas?

Hoping to spend about £200

Thanks for any help and I'm sorry if this has been done already

Edit: Also I need some Ram about 512mb, any ideas?

Which one? http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/prod...2hvd19wcm9kdWN0X292ZXJ2aWV3&product_uid=66402
or

I have no idea how to make the links have tags or what ever they are called

Also would ATI be better for B.F 2?
 
Leadtek's a very good brand- and the 6600gt is a good choice for your price range.
Altec Lansing make a good headset, pretty cheap too, can't remember the model number.
Just pick a good brand for your RAM. Ive found out from experience that it's not worth going for a cheap brand. Corsair or OCZ or something is good.
 
I seriously think that it would be better if you would spend more money on the video card and ditch the ram.
 
The 6600GT would probably be the best pick for the 200$ price range over an ATI card. XFX or Leadtek would be my picks.

I would look for memory with better timings. CL3 is pretty slow. CL2.5 is good though. 1GB memory can make a big difference so go for the memory.

Download CPU-Z and see what timings your current memory is. It will be the first Latency number under the memory tab. If you already have CL3 memory then go ahead and get the memory you linked to (Both Corsair or Crucial are good). If you are using CL2.5 memory and buy CL3 then both sticks will run at CL3 which is quite a bit slower.

I have a platronics headset that I like a lot. Logitech's headsets are also really good. Those are the two I'd choose between.
