In my country, you'd need to spit around 800-1000$ for those specs, so I'm really lucky to have an awesome computer =) (and you're really lucky to live wherever you are!)
where do you live? and sorry to hear prices over there are so much. man that stinks.

So true Krele, but that's mainly due to the Euro - Dollar Trading course. 1? = $1,3. But what's $99,99 in the US is mostly 99,99? in Europe. =_=
Remember Krele, he built it himself. You can sometimes save up to half if you do so. Buying it from retailers is NEVER the way to go. Either you go with a TOP NAME (Alienware) and you pay crazy amounts or you go with crap(Dell, Rogers etc) and their system specs may look good, but it's all of the worst crap, loaded with junk, etc etc, and it will never perform as well as it should.
