Price change suddenly

I am trying to create a laptop that can play games decently for a cheap price and i found this website. While I was making it the price appeared at the side and updated as I selected the components.i had created a laptop that seemed to be both very powerful and very cheap, the price at the side was £558. But when I went to proceed so I could post to the forums to see is people thought that the laptop could handle gaming, the price suddenly rose £330 to £880. This has completely stopped me from getting my laptop as my budget was £600. I am confused and I would like to know why? Is it the cost of you guys building the thing or was I just being lied to for no reason before?

I think it's just a case of the time taken to refresh the pricing applet on the page. Usually it'll update after each component is added, if you pause for a few seconds.

Well just by looking at your description "powerful and cheap" gaming laptop then it is likely to be more than £600 here from other retailers. The price difference, as indicated by XplosiV, is likely to be for the delay refreshing the page. No one is lying to you.

No one lied to you, as already said the page took a while to refresh, which isn't Pcs fault.

you can't expect you get a gaming laptop for £600, you can get one for £700 with no OS but it will only run Games on medium/high (which is very good for the price).

It definitely wasn't just taking time to refresh because I had the page open for a few hours because my brother knows some stuff about computers so I was waiting to show him to see what he thought, but it doesn't matter now anyway because I am going to a get a desktop instead.

In that case you were definitely being lied to for no reason.
