id go with the one from best buy, its much cheaper and theres only a slight difference in the cpu's, but everything else is the same.

It's only a $100 difference but the futureshop one has 1 gb ram and the best buy one has 512 mb ram.

Optical Drives 16X Multi-Format Double Layer DVD+/-RW

Does this mean I can only burn DVDs and not CDs?

no, you can burn both DVD's and CD's.

seems pretty pricey, i think you would be better off buying the computer, monitor, and printer seperatly.
