For slightly less than the cost of two 9800GTs you can get a decent GTX260, which is a much better choice:

Either that or go for the ATI 4890, which is an absolute bargain at the moment - same performance as a GTX275 but for £50 cheaper:

Being from the UK myself, I would definitely recommend ebuyer.com for computing stuff - good prices and free delivery. :)
