You're really better off money wise buying the parts and building your own.

Sandybridge i7 2600K
Asus IV Maximus motherboard
ATI HD 6970
NZXT Phantom case (I'm in love with mine)
60GB SSD drive
2TB of storage
Dual layer DVD burner
~750W Coolermaster PSU
Would come up to around ~1600-1800 I should think.

Instead of the 6970 get a 6950 and do a bios mod to make it a 6970 and you just saved $80

That could be a good idea. Also, get a corsair PSU, nit a cooler master one. Cooler master is not as high quality.

Definitely go the individual part route and then buy your own. Try websites like Newegg or Tigerdirect.
However cyberpowerpc.com is a good way to get an overall idea of all the parts you will need.
