My thoughts exactly. I run a 650w psu with an overclocked 560ti and overclocked i7. No problems. The 3 tb drives are excessive. I would do something like this.

i7 - 300$ - BUT you can make due with an i5 depending on what you use it for.
motherboard - Asus aprox. 150 maybe 200.
8gb ram - corsair vengeance - 70
128 ssd - 100
1 or 2 tb HDD - 100? Need to check prices
Case - 59 - 79.99
650W corsair or xfx power supply under 100

Optical drives are optional. maybe a dvd burner?

Thats just under 1k before taxes. A video card with set you back another 2 - 300. If the motherboard has integrated intel chipsets you won't need it.

PM me if you need any specific recommendations and we can go over things in greater detail. But his quote is WAY off.
