What you get:
A full system thats future proof for the next 4 or 5 years, high quality parts for the things you need.. a case is included as well, woudl outperform a store built rig for the same price by a large degree, and a nice amount of storage (160gb)



Optional:
You could tone down the RAM to some value select and save a few bucks, possibly tone down the hard drive to an 80GB version.. or even a 40GB version if you wanted, save some more bucks there... But to be honest, its a waste of money, an 80gb (half) will only knock off like 10 dollars if that..

Yes, you coudl get it down to your $400 dollar range.. but from a professional aspect you may want to consider saving the extra hundred for slightly more that will save you lots more in the long run.
