Sounds about right, though you could shave off some of the cost if you don't have to replace the drives/HD etc, but then its always nice to have a fresh PC :p

Its expensive. Whether its worth it is going to be dependent on what you want the PC for. X-FI really is overkill unless you are building a media PC. The CPU is also a passive cooler ideally suited to media PC's. If you want to push a gaming PC to the limit an active cooler is always going to be far better at keeping your CPU cool.

Likewise I am unsure why you would want 2 dvd burners. Can see little reason to have more than one if you are concerned about the price.
