$100 to build it for you sounds about right really, and probably under cost. But...

1) I7 is overkill for gaming.
2) 16gbs of ram is overkill for gaming.
3) SSDs only improve loading times. No other gaming performance, and non-ssd loading times aren't even that bad.
4) only a "meh" quality powersupply.
5) Windows 8.
