Thats gets you a top of the range motherboard with hardware audio solution, a processor reknowned for its OCing potential (though you will have to research and acquire the ideal stepping), a solid GFX card and 1 GB high quality ram. Also from what I have heard, a solid PSU.

all from scan, free shipping from hexus... i think my system wins
My system (on left) was less than 800 all in (inc. software etc.) It doesn't show the centurion 5, xclio 480w, 120gb hdd, DVD+-RW, 7in1 card reader+floppy, cables etc.
That was roughly what I paid for my system too, good set up, can't go wrong.
But I built it up in stages, though.
