Looks like you'll definately have to do it with a db, having tables for each options ( with prices ) and then taking the base price and just adding any options that are choosen if they are above the base setup.

so, in other words, they would have a table for each individual upgrade possibility that would look something like:
base_product_name......price
upgrade_one.................amount_to_add_to_base
upgrade_two.................amount_to_add_to_base
and have one for each individual product? (processor, Memory, Hard Drive, etc...)

example:
processor_table
processor_Id
Processor_name
processor_price
So here's a list
1
AMD 600 blah blah
$0
2
AMD 660 blah blah
$60
etc.
So if the first one is choosen, it will not add to the base price, only if the second on is choosen it will grab the base price of the pc ( also from the db ) and add the addon price for that. It will go through all the options checking to see if it should add to the base price

No you don't need to. The base_product_name & price example is what you need to query for a single page (you may need a url field for the image), then put the base price as text. Then add&substract others. All can be done in one asp page, a caller link can call this page like:
<a href="systemselect.asp?sys_id=4210">4210 Value Series Desktop</a>
And the code first gets the parameter using request.querystring("sys_id") and passes to a SQL select to get the first few lines, including description, image url, base price, etc.
One more major problem here can be: Not all add-ons may work with the base system. For example a system may not allow more than xMB's of RAM, or it may not support extra graphic cards if it has one onboard, etc.
In this case you error-checking routines will be too much complicated.
