Your PC shop will only charge £50 if you buy all of the parts from them.
The £100 figure will be if you supply all the parts yourself, where they lose the profit from the components.
I used to work in a computer shop, that's how these things work.

There's a few threads below going on about graphics cards, have a look there.
The names aren't exactly the most helpful though so you'll have to read that actual topic.
