Not bad considering you're going ground-up and including a decent monitor/case, etc. I went ground-up on this system for around $1200 over 4 years ago and ended up with more mid-grade stuff than you got (in other words your components are a little more high-end in the market relatively speaking than mine were at the time). And mine will still be fine until Unreal 3 engine games start rolling out. So you should be good for at least a few generations of game engines.

Now we just have to hope none of the console-only folks see this thread and think "omgz so I have to pay $1500 to play PC games? screw that my xbox was only $500!" :P , it's enough to explain that once a week on the other forum.
