My whole system, including the Samsung LCD wide screen, was around $1100 USD when all was said and done (the Samsung was on sale for $219 USD when I picked it up). It plays SH4 just great.

Only one thing: when you're starting out with a stock system you have to be sure that you know what's in the case so you can plan how much your modifications will cost. You did great! The $1,100 is a good price because you included the LCD! If you built from scratch you would come in about the same. Yours goes in the win column!
