	Wait! Stop! Time out! That is $1,899 as you have it configured. That is an extremely bad configuration for that price in so many ways. It is the inferior socket type LGA1156 CPU and motherboard, you have Vista selected instead of Windows 7, wrong type of ram selected, an inferior medium case selected, a bad air cooler selected, you didn't select any of the FREE options like for overclocking CPU... You could have a vastly superior core i7 Windows 7 system for basically the same price. I'll let someone else give you example configs, but I just wanted to let you know to hold on and not order as you currently have it selected.
