How much would you pay for this computer?

Brand new:

Intel Core i5 2.8GHZ Processor

4 GB DDR3 1600MHz RAM (expandable to 16GB)

1TB 7200rpm Hard Drive

22x DVD RW Drive

EVGA 1GB DDR3 nVidia GeForce GTS 250 PCI express Video Card

Logitech wireless keyboard and mouse

Windows 7 Home Premium, with disk, Full version

Gigabyte GA-P55A-UD3 Motherboard with 7 USB, 2 PCI-e (SLI ready) and 2 PCI slots, integraged 1GB Ethernet, and integrated 5-channel audio, 6 SATA connections

650W Power Supply

ASUS 20" LCD Monitor

All parts brand new, nothing used or refurbished. NO WARRANTY.

If you had the money, would you pay $1,800 for this? If not, how much?

Honesty preferred, since I'm not actually selling a PC like this now. Just trying to determine a price range.

Update:

Dude, a warranty is not worth $1300. This is the kind of low-ball answer I'm trying to avoid. Shoo, troll.

Update 2:

Of course there's a case in there somewhere. And yes, you could play with it for an hour or so to make sure it's on the level. Just assume for a moment that no one is trying to screw you over. Still, $1,000? Get real. The parts alone cost more than $1,400 with tax.

    the parts alone are over $1000 and that's at newegg.com, so not sure what everyone else is thinking. I'd say if I was a normal non PC builder it'd be worth close to the $1800, and If i was to buy it from you acting as a PC builder who didn't want to mess with building a PC, I'd pay probably $1400

    Additional notes: Obviously anyone who can build there own PC is going to do it for around $1200, but he's talking about how much the average joe would be willing to pay not knowing at all how to build a computer, I think if you were to buy that with those specs retail it would cost a lot more.

    Hate to burst your bubble but you can build that yourself for around $1200. I'd put down $1100 since there is no warranty.

    Not 1800 with no warranty.

    Maybe 800 from someone I know.

    500 for anyone else.
