Hi,
Following Bob's suggestion, I priced up something similar to Clownfish:
Price Type Model
---------------------------------------------------
79 Case CoolerMaster Elite 342 RC342 420W PS
110 Motherboard Asus F1A75-M-LE FM1 USB3 Hudson D3 RAID GLAN DVI MB
149 CPU MD A8-3870K Quad Core Fusion FM1 CPU 3.0Ghz 4Mb
Llano 3870 AD3870WNGXBOX Boxed HS & Fan
129 Hard drive Seagate 1TB SATA3 32Mb Cache Barracuda
7200RPM / SATA 6Gb/s
69 Memory 8Gb DDR3 1600Mhz G.Skill 2X4Gb
Kit Ripjaws-X 12800 Heatsink F3-12800CL9D-8GBXL
29 DVDRW Drive LG GH24-NS70 24X SATA Black
DVDRW, Dual Layer Kit; DVDRAM
The total is $565
This ended up being a lot less than $1100, and is also cheaper than
Clownfish; the savings are in the Hard drive and the DVDRW drive (vs
Clownfish's bluray). Most of the other parts are similar or the same,
and also of similar or identical prices.
If we want to spend more money and get something better, I'm happy to
redo this.
For those who care, here are the links:

Everything is from netplus, because it was more convenient to get
everything from one place than to trawl the internet in the hopes of
saving $50.
I am eagerly eager to anticipate your insightful grammatical criticism.
