Help in Making Choices - new rig

Hi Everyone,

I was going to buy a computer from USA, but now I have come across a dilema:


I can either purchase the computer from USA and pay the shipping costs and take the risk of losing the merchandise/taking long time to arrive (Up to 20 days), or buy it locally for a slightly higher price but have a warranty and no fear to lose the merchandise.

The computer from USA has the following specifications:


Core i7 i920
6GB DDR3 RAM (1600MHz)
1TB HD
1x NVidia 295GTX
Alienware Chassis
3DAudio Card
Price: 2099 (+300 Shipping) = $2399 Dollars.


The one from Paraguay is:

Core i7 i920
12GB RAM DDR3 (1333MHz)
1.5TB HD
NVidia 285GTX SLI (2x)
Asus Vento Chassis
Price = $2450 Dollars




I would like an opinion from you, to know which would you choose from both. My main doubt is about the 1333Mhz RAM and the SLI 285GTX Vs the 1x 295GTX.


I will be waiting for your opinion !



Yours


Alex

The one locally is a better deal because of a few things...

Price...51 dollars difference for twice the RAM (even though the RAM is a bit slower) and two 285GTXs compared to half the RAM and a 295GTX. Two 285GTXs are better than one 295GTX. Also more storage (1TB to 1.5TB)

That shipping is just too much

I agree with Zid... Go for it...

Lolz, my brother almost had an orgasm saying i told you so! LoLZ.
"I told u so!! I TOLD U SO HAHAHA i TOLD U SOO.."

But now, seriously, won't the RAM change a lot of things?
I mean, isn't it a big speed difference from 1333 to 1600?

It's a little speed difference, main thing is that you will have doule amount of memory.

Oh, one more Con for Local
If i buy it Locally, i won't be able to buy a Monitor, a Mouse and a Keyboard.
