Yup trust me I bought an mx17 for 1400 for my son and bought a custom built laptop that has the same exact specs for only 900$ with a matching mouse and keyboard they were trying to charge me an extra 50$ for the wireless mouse and keyboard @dell...
you're basically paying for the company logo not just the parts

that's why I said to check craigslist for any nearby custom computer builders or whatever you call them lol I knew you wouldn't know anything about having to build a computer which I why I skipped that part
you could go to a tech forum and ask them to find out what parts you need for a badass computer with an 800$ budget and they'll tell you exactly what you need then you can buy them and pay someone to build it for you if you can't (cause it's pretty easy) or do what I said and purchase one from someone who sells custom computers in your area
^ only 2 options where you can get a great setup for cheap
if you can't do either of those for whatever reasons then just buy a normal pc from bestbuy or online through dell and you should be fine with gaming if that's what you're trying to buy it for it may lag when it comes to really high end games but for most MMOs they have graphic settings and most fps should run fine on it...you may have troubles with call of duty though depending on what you pick
