Default how can it be so cheap?

http://www.goldenelectronics.co.uk/i...I--GA0502.html

I figured it would just be easier to buy a complete computer than have to go through the hassle of shipping each part and defective parts etc...so I found this website...I was gonna buy the deluxe am2 http://www.goldenelectronics.co.uk/i...2--BA0401.html which I figured was upgradable and I could buy a 7900gt here in the US and take it back to the UK with m in 2 weeks...but the mobo specs says it's socket 939 so do you guys think this is an error or a too good to be true offer since the rest of the UK offers these specs at a much higher cost...

Here's the manufacturer's page for the board:

It's AM2.

In your opinion, is that a "negative" hit on the overall system?

ECS is not known for high-performance parts, but a large number of pre-builts use ECS motherboards. They are dependable.

Nothing wrong with AM2. Personally, I'm still on 939, and intend to stay there for a while.
