Well there's more to the story as always. If i were, say , get my ultimate gaming pc the price would go up to 2000 pounds. The 300 version would consist of:

GIGABYTE GA-P35-DQ6 motherboard
Core 2 Duo E6850 BOX CPU
Kingston DDR2 4GB Ram 800mhz
GIGABYTE GeForce 8800GTX 768MB gfx card
SoundBlaster X-Fi Xtreme Gamer audio card
plus the usual CD/DVD RW and HDD 300GB, so not that big a deal if you ask me.

The 2000 pound version is where the funny things strat to happen ;).

wel i don't know what all those things do, but the inclusion of a seperate gfx card and an actual gamer audio card, and 300GB HDD would mark the prce up way over £300.

I'm not talking gaming PC price... just a PC... it would proably have 1Ghz processor, 512mb of Ram... gfx would be integrated, and HDD would be 80G/120G.... that's what you get for £300... and would probably only just run GTA:San Andreas.... Crysis seems to be touted as needing a good gaming PC to run,... there is no way £300 would get you a PC to run Crysis.

In fact no PC at £300 here would be considered "gaming" PC, looking through a catalogue (Argos) the ones touted as gaming PCs are generally at least £700-800 (and i would bet Crysis would either be on it's lowest possible settings, or not work on these)

Well, obviously i don't live in the UK, but in a country where the exchange rate for pound vs zloty is close to 1:5,12. Add to that that i have to ability to get my parts straight from the production facilities for sometimes half the price.
