I brought that down from about $1200 to the current price by removing hard drives (already have some PATAs...the speed is fine for me), switching the graphics card from an 8800GTS, and getting a much cheaper sound card (Down from $90), since I have never had a non-integrated one before(so I will notice a sound difference no matter what), and I don't have such an an awesome sound system.

Is there any way I could make this cheaper without sacrificing too much power/functionality?

Let me know if you have any questions about what I really want.

Thanks!
 
Get rid of the sound card. Dump the case, and buy the antec 900 from fry's for 79 bucks. Get the 8800 gts and spend the extra money for a q6600 g0. Also get the crucial balistix. Oh ya, also get a p35-ds3r mobo, its the same price as the 680i you have pickd out but a much better overclocker.
 
veedubfreak, besides the cheaper case + the no sound card, that would raise the price.

Man, I hate living in California...that tax is killing me.

Well, I added a $50 PSU, $55 heatsink/fan and a to what you picked above, and it came out to $800.33 ($745.46 before tax).

Thanks for the suggestions
