I didn't include the Moniter, CD/DVD-ROM, Keyboard/Mouse, Operating System or any additional software on this list.
Total adds up to: $1,285 (With out shipping, tax, etc.)
The OS and software should be cheap as for the monitor and mouse and keyboard, etc, that's up to you.

^^ Not a bad build. I would wait for the new 78xx graphics cards to come out in a couple weeks however. The 7850 ($250), when over clocked, can match the performance of a GTX580 ($500) in a lot of games. Definitely worth the wait IMO.

Add a 120gb SSD as well for the boot drive.
Get a full tower case

Decent build but..
...the PSU is pretty bad. Just 80 Plus silver for that price? If you want to OC then 600W would be more than enough.
At SSD Topic
I use an SSD and I need almost 30s to boot Windows. I added more than 10 programs to autostart
An other advantage is the slow loading times like already mentioned. A game in CF needs 2 seconds to load. Anno 1404 loads much faster. Gimp loads faster. And so on.. -

luckily 2 screws and the back plate comes off.
then 2 more screws to reveal the ram.
unfortunantly keyboard has to come off to get to cpu. -
Ya two clips hold the CPU down to the braket which is held down by 4 screws threaded through the back plate of the mobo.luckily 2 screws and the back plate comes off.
then 2 more screws to reveal the ram.
unfortunantly keyboard has to come off to get to cpu.
