It's a crazy price.
Just builded a new system for 650 euro.

- MSI G33M-FI motherboard
- e8400 cpu
- Patriot Extreme Performance DDR2 4GB (2 x 2GB) PC2-6400
- Sony nec burner
- MSI 9600GT OC
- 1x 250 gig Seagate Barracuda 7200.8 (this 1 I use from my old system)
- Xigmatek HDT-RS1283 Red Scorpion Edition Aluminium cpu cooler
- Antec NeoHE Power 500 watt PSU
- Antec p180 mini case.

Ok you could go a bit faster (8600cpu soon out) and a faster videocard but still that would below 1000 dollars..

Better get a good deal with your new computer than a bit faster system that is way overpiced!

But you should wait 1 month or so, faster cpu's out soon and new generation video cards but never go for the best parts, it's just ain't a good deal, price wise.

At the time BoB is out you can upgrade some parts which you saved with not going for the most expensive/fastest parts, IF needed...
