Total: $1224 (before rebates, u could save another 30-50 $ from rebates, didnt really look) and not including case (probably about another $80-$100 depending on what you want/if you need one.

If u want to spend a bit more, you can add some more Ram, or upgrade the processor to an 17. Let me know what you think.
