Well, more info now.

This morning, i went to a store that could build computer following the components you have in mind. I asked the vendor for a computer with all said above, he will call me at the end of the week to tell me about the price and delay.
But one thing surprised me: he told me that a Q6600 quad core CPU was about 500€. Browsing the net, i found that Intel raised down all their CPU prices a week ago. Here you could find a (french) article about that with the old and new prices for different Intel CPU compared.
And here the different prices i could find from different sites for this CPU.
As you can see, we're far away from 500€!! It rather seems that the correct price is about 300€, though some vendors have it about 500€ too. I guess the CPU supplier of the store i visited this morning sell it at this (huge) price.
I wonder if i could make the vendor build my computer with the CPU i would have bought from the net? If i could have a better price, hu... why not?

Something that surprise me as well, is that Intel told about 266$ for this CPU, but you could only found it around 270€. It doesn't follow the correct Euro exchange rate. It seems they are making huge taxes again!! (why are we always victims of someone??)

So, following the price this vendor announced to me, the computer i want will cost MUCH MORE i expected! I'll have to down the specs i asked. But i don't want to!
He told me as well that the memory prices raised up for summer. What is that system??
Following this idea, will all the components i went for be all pricey?

svdl - In Netherlands you could have these specs for about 850€, at the end of this week we'll see what is about the same specs in France...
