Yeah I just saw that:o. Canadian prices, thats ok. The 2 4890s in CF and the Power Supply runs the price up.

Maybe because it's cheaper :)
My i7 later this year will cost around $2000(Probably a little cheaper in august) and I'm only getting 1 GTX295
 
Why would i want to drop another $1000 on a CPU that's only slightly better, and then another $200 on ram, ddr2 is good enough...
And 2 4890s are better then a gtx295.
 
I'm not sure what it's like in Canada, but isn't the WD Caviar Green cheaper? The performance difference is minor at worst. It's probably the only thing on that list that I would recommend changing.
 
I was looking at that too, the difference was only like $10 tho, so not much of a difference. I just decided, hey..if im spending over 2000$, might as well spend the little bit extras. $10 here and there is nothing.
