currently have a 8500 GT 512 MB looking to upgrade to something like a 8800 or similar, anyone have any tips and what and what not to get?

I'd like to keep it to NVidia

What kind of budget do you have? And why are you set on an nVidia?

I am also looking to kind of revamp my PC with a new Quad Core Chip and 8800GT since they are pretty cheap now. I am going for the 640MB since that's all I really need anyway for Source. It's like $179 or less on NewEgg.com. Check it out.

Not sure if NewEgg does UK shipping though :P.

As far as I know, the 320MB and 640MB are the older GTS cards. Get a a512MB instead.

8800gt is good and cheap.

Or you could wait a few more months and see what happens in the gfx market.

512MB 8800GT for $130. You really can't do any better. That's a steal.

Easy choice...

nVidia just had to lower their prices from 300 to 200 USD because the 9800's were getting raped by ATI card that was $200.

One of the best deals right now.
