I know they're marked up. All I'm saying is it's not that expensive when you compare it to an 'Alienware' which everyone thinks is the god of all computers. The parts alone cost about 2 grand so this is 'free labor' for those people who don't know how to create their own computer.
Only idiots think Alienware are computer Gods. You get sub-par parts for a ridiculously high price. I would suggest setting it at the price of the parts on newegg (or similar sites.)
I even did your math for you (some parts might not be an exact match, but they're similar in price)

+additional accessories and case
Total cost comes to $1915, with the case and accessories I'd price it at about 2 grand, which isn't unreasonable. Just don't bring Alienware in. I do have questions about the computer's actual price budget, though.
