I think the reason your prices were high is because of your "extra's" totalling $550. As well as you added an O/S which he probably already has (most of the time people don't include O/S's with suggestions). Those two alone bump at least $300~350 off.
There's no need to spend $2,000 bucks on a comp now`a`days though, my sys is fine, and only cost me around $1500 (I constantly upgrade). The new age games coming out will be able to run on dx8 cards (with dx9 drivers) fine medium settings w/ no AA/ASF. I personally need my speed for video production and graphic work.
Either way, it's your money, that you saved up for... and you deserve to do what you want with it. If you want, you could probably squeeze an FX51 system in there, but you'd have to downgrade the vid card, memory and case/psu. I think what I posted is a very well balanced solution for gamers. The peripheals change from person to person. But as far as i'm concerned I don't think i'll have anyone say that I made a big mistake in my suggestions -.-.

Insomniacs unite! (woke up at 9pm tho)
