I've shopped around for a custom built PC built to lower specs than the one you've posted, and the price has been higher. Seems a reasonable price for what you're getting.

For $480=£250 that is a good price, compared to in England anyway.

Thanks a lot guys! Just needed to make sure.

I get my pay tomorrow and I'll probably order it as soon as I get home from work.

New PC, more games, yay!
