$400 more than the $800 system? If the above system is being sold for $1200, you're getting ripped off.

Are you ordering in England?

ye in scotland, and yes that system is £400 more than the £800 system but the 800 one just seems rubbish and looks rubbish. The system is selling for £1200 on the website, how and in what way am i gettin ripped off i dont know much about the names and speeds of pc's. what do you think i should do then??

Thanks for the help

Since you're in scotland, I'm not sure on the prices and availability of hardware to you. That system is almost $2,000 USD. That could build a pretty nice i7 system.

Here's what I'm thinking. For the $$,
could get i7 cpu and x58 mobo
dump the 4850 and xfire 2x 4870's
dump the 4x 1GB ram kit and get a single 3x 2GB kit (keep slots free for future)
get a 640Gb or 1Tb WD caviar black
