Almost half the price is eaten up by the CPU alone, personally unless I was doing a lot of number crunching I would opt for a cheaper CPU and go for a SSD main drive with a 2TB secondary. 16GB again is only needed if doing large workloads. No mention of motherboard or HD brand, guessing lower end (not a massive problem) but good to know what you're buying. Windows 8, less said about that the better :-)
