Sorry, but using the components you linked to (and I mean the cheaper alternatives), the base price including an operating system and without any shipping charges is $1085 (including an aftermarket heatsink for overclocking the i7).
If I use your suggestions for a $40 case and only get 3GB of DDR3 for $60, I still only save $60, which brings it down to about $1000... no where near your 800-900. I'm guessing you were adding this up in your head and didn't carry correctly, and you simply forgot the addition of an operating system.
