| IMO, no that's not worth it. Quick break down on prices. (our prices of course)
E6850 - $180
780i board - $230
Case - $200 (overpriced IMO)
9800GX2 - $450
RAM - $60
HDD- $100 x 2
Sound Card - $100 (probably cheaper really)
Card reader - $10
Burner - $30
Vista - $150 (can get cheaper versions)
KB and Mouse - $100 - $120
Now these are all off the top of my head, but my math there comes too ~$1730..

| You cant compare US rates to Norway rates. PC parts may cost a lot more in Norway.
Also it is already pre-built. And looks like it has a warranty.
Karma looks like hes rounding down, and didnt include a PSU. I will try to link you to the parts. Case 260$ PSU 200$ CPU 185$ Ram 90$ GPU 600$ HD 90$x2 = 180$ X-fi Sound 200$ Card Reader 35$ Optical Drive 23$ OS 170$ Mouse 23$
Keyboard 40$
Motherboard?!?!
Total ~ 2,006$ + motherboard
Dell charges about 300$ for a 3 year warranty/parts/service/etc. I cant read the text, but I see a 3.
And then you have to add a fee for putting the PC together. ~150$ (rough guess) Conclusion: about 2500$
Remember that I chose newegg prices, which are about as good as they get.
When you factor in all variables, I would guess that it isnt a bad price when your purchasing it from Norway. I put together a similiar build at Dell and it came to ~$3,300 http://configure.us.dell.com/dellsto...ails~xpsdt_720

| Well, yes, Norway is a very expensive country...
But will this PC be able to play games like Crysis on full graphical settings, do you think? | |

| You should price a Dell XPS 630 if you can. You can upgrade the video card and hard disk to match this package.

| I've heard that if I buy just the parts I can get a better PC than these pre-built ones. I don't know how to build a PC myself but is it common that people from a electronics shop can build a PC? But maybe then I won't get customer support, warranty and such stuff. | |

| All I know is that I can't build a Dell XPS 630 for the price that Dell charges. They include a licensed copy of Windows too. | |

). I didn't do water cooling for simplicity though I did include a nice zalman fan, and no sound card because I don't see much use for one.
