Is this worth the money?

As the title says, I was quite impressed with the below system that I have managed to find, would make a very nice replacement for my very old desktop model that is now years old, and this new one looks set to last me the same amount of time again:

Would you say this is a good price, or should I save my money and wait until these systems come down in price & the tech to get better, or just go for it?

wouldnt bother going sli tbh, go for a 8800gtx/9800gtx and 2x2gb of the pc6400 memory.

Thats because I dont normally go past installing things like a graphics card or new ram onto an already installed mobo, and dont think I would do very well on installing everything from scratch, I can just imagine that I would experience problems that buying a new machine would eliminate
