Those look WAY to pricey. If you build you're own, You would be saving a fraction of your money. I would suggest posting on r00t's topic. Forums/t=3809045/the-custom-pc-to...-only.html
Fill out the form and he will break the parts down for you, Depending on your budget.

Yeah, but I won't be building it until December time. I'm hoping for some alterations or suggestions though.
Thanks for your comment

Get an Alienware if not thought about it, if you take good care of your computer, like its in a neat area, breathes decently, and cleaned here and there. It will last a long time, even with some abuse

I'll set out a template for you. Fix it around your price point.
RAM: 4-8GB of low profile DDR3.
CPU: I5 2500k/3570k
GPU: Gigabyte GTX 670 (because of your seemingly high budget)
Motherboard: Asrock Z77 Extreme4 (HIGHLY recommended) OR MSI Z77 G45
PSU: A respectable brand with ATLEAST a 80 plus bronze certificate. Look for a 450-750 watt PSU, wattage depending solely on whether you ever plan on upgrading, and giving overclocking headroom.
HDD/SSD: 500-1TB with 7200rpm as a primary drive (Seasonic/Western Digital), and get an Intel 330 30-60GB SSD as a boot drive.
Case: Zalman Z9 (Recommended regardless of budget)
CPU cooler: Hyper 212 EVO. Best air cooler on the market I reckon.
DVD drive: Unless your burning/watching Blu-rays, a standard DVD-R/RW will do.
