Do you need OS? If you want to buy DIY rig, it is always better to head down to SLS.

If you are lazy, you can look for fortran and he can set up your rig and deliver to your house.

If i'm not wrong, you have to pay an additional assembly and delivery charges on top of the cost of the rig.

IMO, you might be better off getting the rig yourself at SLS.

CPU & Mobo: i5-3450 & Gigabyte B75M-D3V @ $317
Free 4GB ram (upgrade 8gb)
ODD: Samsung DVD RW @ $22
HDD: Hitachi Deskstar 500GB @ ~$60
GPU: Powercolor 7770 1GB @ $157*
Case: Sharkoon T5 @ $63
PSU: FSP Raider 450W @ $68*
OS: Windows 7 Home 64 bit OEM @ $110

Total: $797
Buy and build at Tradepac.

Some things to take note when dealing with Tradepac:

• Be firm with your decision when buying from Tradepac. Don't be swayed by their sales assistant to upgrade and buy more expensive components which you don't require.
• Check all the components you plan to purchase are correct before you make payment.
• Stay at the shop and supervise them as they assemble your rig and make sure they return all spare chassis parts. You might want to take note that Tradepac cable management skills may not be up to your satisfactory level.
