Well I dont think this topic is in the right section,
but anyway one thing I noticed straight away was the Processor he is selling you, its over priced $275.55 you joking, even on ebay theres one alot cheaper than that and its in your area CANADA, look at this link below.

YES thats right $140.00 for a Q8200, and he wants you to pay $275.55, lol
But anyway the Total price 1212.25 /1368.32 well the answer to your question is yes he is scamming you.
you can get alot better system than that for your money, I think he maybe trying to sell you old stuff he cant sell.

I would be wanting a system with the latest i7 920 processer for that kind of price, and if your willing to pay that then for sure you can have one, just look at the Newegg site thay have some good deals for you, unfortunate for me I live in the UK and Newegg will not ship that far out.
