going with an i7 build isn't overkill, but some of the things you listed might come from iffy brands (you dont really know), whereas if you build it yourself, you'd be sure to pick out some good quality parts.
also you keep mentioning the 512mb or 1gb video card. but you havent actually listed the name. there are so many cards from different series that just the memory is not enough to identify which one it is. and it might not be you, it might just be that they are not listing it, which is another loss.
and id like to see how 8gigs of ram are supposed to work in triple channel. all in all though, thats not worth 1500$
Took the words right out from under my hands ;P
There are cards 3 or 4 years old with 512 mb memory, we need to know the actual model to tell you how ripped off you would be.
Something is fishy with the RAM, 8gb in triple channel would be a strange setup.
You could probably shave 300-500 off if you were to build that computer yourself with the same specs, plus you would have quality parts and the ability to upgrade in the future.
P.S. Do you really need a blu-ray burner? That's inflating the price quite a bit and I'm sure Dell/HP isn't skipping out of the markup.
