holy shit thanks Lt.victim! Wow the price difference is crazy! So this company is out of vancouver which is awsome cause I live in Prince Rupert which shouldnt be to bad on shipping. So can I choose the parts I want Like the site I posted?

You can combine whatever parts you want on there site and they will build it and install the OS for free..

I bought my PC from there at Christmas by picking the parts I wanted and then they put it together., haven't had any problems and I've Visited them again to buy a sound card..

But I actually went to there shop and talked to them, might be a bit different cause they will be shipping to you, but just call them or email them..

They were pretty fast at getting my PC built and called me when it was done.

Assuming you are talking about LT.Victim's PC, these are my comments on the system:

Processor: Fine! I recommend, if you know how to overclock and assuming it has sufficient cooling, overclock it to around 3.0GHz and your system will be steaming ahead. Even if you can't, 2.4GHz is fine;

RAM: Seeing as this is a pre-built system, I'd like to hope that the RAM would work;

Motherboard: Very nice;

Optical Drive: I have the same drive (I think..) and it is great;

Hard Drive: With such a good rig, I'd consider purchasing an additional Western Digital Raptor (74GB?) so that you can use that 320GB for media;

Video Card: Can't go wrong with an 8800.. yet;

Audio Card: The fact of the matter is, you have such a good system, so you should definetely get a Creative X-Fi;

Case: Not just the P180, but the P182! Very nice, I have the P180 and there aren't that many differences, but the fact that it comes with it, the case is excellent and has 3 Antec Tri-cool 120mm fans (which is, again, what I am running at the minute);

PSU: Fine. 600W is average on a system nowadays for that kind of specification;

Keyboard / Mouse / Speakers: They all look like crap.

ya I think the keyboard/mouse looks like crap aswell. Oh and does this Network Integrated Gigabit Lan & WIFI lower my ping?

I'm not so sure on this one. I own the Asus P5W-DH-Deluxe and it has integrated Wi-Fi that I use. It is pretty crap, but then again, wireless in my room isn't that good. It uses the same socket as any Wireless Network Card, so you should at least try it before splashing out £20 / $35 on a Wireless card.
