The prices listed are an average, YMMV. You should be able to buy this for less than $600 easily. I didn't provide links to each component simply because the Builder should take the time to research and shop for the best deal. For US users, recommended sites would be Newegg, Zipzoomfly, MWave, and TigerDirect. Be wary of shipping charges. We tend to forget about them at times. Mail in Rebates can be big money savers, be sure to follow the instructions to the letter.
