I'm bored, so I edited your post so that I could make sense of it.

Also, the card in my setup is listed on dabs for £292.98 (see here)

Taking your total to £1370.29 (assuming you didn't include the price of the card originally).

For what I'm getting I have 2Gb more RAM (slower ram though it may be, there's still more memory power there) and 0.5Tb more HDD space.

Your monitor definately pwns mine though... I've decided I'm gonna exclude the Dell monitor from my order and spend the extra £££ on getting a better deal elsewhere if one's available.

I can save £140 on the 19" Dell monitor and I'm being talked into getting a 32" Samsung for £299 instead.

My overall cost would still be £70 less, with all the above advantages and a kick-ass monitor, plus I wouldn't have to put it together when it got delivered.

I think I'm sold.
