user14714: I'm trying to interface my Arduino UNO with both a 1) TFT LCD screen and 2) WiFi Breakout board/shield.
The WiFi breakout board uses many of the same Digital pins as the LCD screen so is it possible for the arduino to interface with both devices simultaneously?
I also noticed that the shield goes over the arduino, but covers the header pins. Does this mean that I can't use these pins?
I've never worked with shields or breakout boards and would like some advice before I purchase either component. 
If neither of these solutions will work, please provide me with alternate methods. 
Your time/feedback is greatly appreciated :)

user12076: I agree with Chris on this. The uno is limited where it comes to pins and and ram, you should probably look at a mega, or similar. 
As far as running both at once, i don't think it would be possible with the uno, with the ram limitations, as well as pin limitations, you'll be hard pressed to get them going at the same time, within the same sketch. 
While technically it is possible to use alternative pins, i doubt there will be enough unused pins to shift an entire shield over to on the Uno
If you're looking for a cheaper rout, you may look at adding a secondary Uno to run the wifi, and send any data you need displayed to the uno running the tft via serial coms.
