Bottom line
$1152

The value professional 3D system ranks as the most expensive of the three value systems we have ranked in the past three weeks. Thanks to the additional memory and rising memory prices, the larger monitor, and the more powerful video card, the value professional 3D system is $400 more than the value gaming system we looked at last week. Although the price may sound hefty, the value professional 3D system of today is still $113 less expensive than the value professional 3D system we configured a year ago.
