For $1200, I just picked up:

i7 920 (Currently mildly OC'd to 3.4)
6gb 1600Hz triple channel Mushkin ram
eVGA X58 SLI LE mobo
750W psu
Noctuna cpu fan
Radeon 5870HD (This is the only item i got from NCIX)

All I had to do was scavenge for a case and HDD on top of that to build a higher end computer.

Advice is to look on craigslist.. Sure there is that chance to get ripped off, but for the most part, buying parts from non-shady people, and having a verbal contract that all the parts you're getting are in working order results in a good deal!
