It's a quote I've gotten from our local computer shop (which I'm doing work experience at next year), but I just wanted to see what you knowledgeable bunch think of this. I'm not implying that he'd rip me off though he's very unproffesional, but yeah, what do you guys think about the parts themselves, too?

NOTE: This is not a prebuilt. It's a set of parts which he is going to help me put together, and because he's friends with our family he said he'd give me free LEDs, which is irrelevant to this important-ish note.

DID I JUST RAMBLE?

Hmm.. its a rather decent computer. W7 Professional, 2TB HD, Kaspersky...

$1300-$1450 after tax maybe?

Not sure about the gfx card though. I thought only 460+ supports DX11.

The LGA 1156 CPUs have a more aggressive Turbo mode than it's 1366 counterpart and it's cheaper too.

This Intel board is a ATX with three so call full length PCI Express x16, where the 2nd and 3rd PCIe slots are opened and cut off to represent the electrical capabilities.
2nd runs at x8, so instead of using a full length PCie x16 slot, Intel uses a open x8 type slot instead.
3rd runs at x4

Both WD Black and Blue HDD runs at 7200RPM, while Green uses Intelliseek
Them 2TB model currently are on the black and green models. Blue models don't have 2TB. With the board he picked for you, I doubt it will be a black drive. It's most likely a Green drive.
Green Drive does run cool (Got myself 2x 1TB) and these guys run at 5400RPM and may increase its speed if heavy load is detected. These drive are for storage, not for main computing.

Graphics: Lowest end in terms of you can play games, that supports Dx11.

OS: Suited for business, which has Windows XP mode.

Are you getting this crippled setup for free or you're paying for it?
If you're paying for it, then demand some major changes as this entire build looks like crap.

This is what I would change
Change to a board with at least 2x PCIe x16 and they better have physical x16 slots.

Reduce the HDD to 1TB, that way you can have a WD Blue drive, these runs at 7200RPM

Skip on the Windows 7 Professional and get yourself Home Premium.
This will save you some cash, and use that to get a better graphic card

Change that GTS 450 to at GTX460.
loose the AV, get a Free one such as Microsoft Security Essentials

1800 is definitely my limit, I can't UPGRADE anything.

As kls stated, dump Kaspersky, it should give you some headroom to work.

I would put it at around $1500AU. But $1800 isn't that unreasonable.

Wall of text:

Does that include Warrenty? Postage and handling? Will they be helping build the computer? If something breaks down, can you replace it without needing to mail it?
