I didn't really price out ready-made systems because I couldn't find one with exactly the components I wanted. You might try going to the Dell site and specifying a computer there with somewhat comparable components. I'd be curious what you find!
Part of the reason I built my own system is that I wanted to re-use my case and drives. I'd hoped to re-use the power supply as well, but had to upgrade from a 500-watt to a 750-watt supply to handle the new graphics card. All in all a decent chunk of change, but nothing compared to the new camera and underwater housing to go with it.
