I like to look for computer parts on TigerDirect because i am thinking about building a very good gaming PC. I would like to know if you guys think this is a ripoff or if this a good price. Here is a list and the final price...

1.) Thermaltake Soprano RS101 (Case)

2.) EVGA nForce 680i SLI NVIDIA Socket 775 ATX Motherboard

3.) Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.40GHz Socket 775 OEM Processor

4.) Ultra / X2 / 550-Watt / ATX / 120mm Fan / SLI Ready / SATA-Ready / 20/24-Pin / Modular Power Supply

5.) OCZ Reaper Dual Channel 2048MB PC8500 DDR2 1066MHz Memory (2 x 1024MB)

6.) Seagate / Barracuda 7200.10 / 500GB / 7200 / 16MB / Serial ATA-300 / OEM / Hard Drive

7.) Lite-On SuperAllwrite OEM Lightscribe DVD Burner

8.) Zonet - ZEN3301E - 10/100/1000 Gigabit PCI Network Adapter

9.) Creative Labs Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeGamer PCI Sound Card

10.) Logitech X-540 5.1 Surround Sound Speakers

11.) Logitech Media Keyboard

12.) Logitech Optical Mouse USB

13.) DCLCD by Sceptre DCL20A 20.1" Widescreen LCD Monitor - 5ms, 1000:1, WSXGA+ 1680x1050, DVI with HDCP, VGA(D-sub)

14.) Windows Vista Home Prem 64-bit DSP OEM DVD

15.) EVGA GeForce 8800 GTX / 768MB GDDR3
