What about RAM?
Did you forget about RAM? Most peoples RAM would be incompatible w/ these machines... not to mention that they might not have enough in their current machine to begin with, compatible or not. Theres another 50-100 on top of your quoted system prices.

Also, will the typical 200w standard power supply in an OEM machine work w/ the 9800 gt? doubtful, not after the mobo and proc you selected.
