idk where your shopping but the antec case is 120 on newegg ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] dred%20Two ) but i would get the twelve hundred ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] %20hundred ). I have same case with pretty much same stuff in it and it is very tight inside, wished i got the twelve hundred.

the vid card unless that is for 2, that card on newegg( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] ked%20Core ) is 195 but with mail in rebate its 170

The i7 is 280 once again on newegg ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6819115202 )

the motherboard is prob way overpriced too
