I guess with the best US prices, and waiting for after Xmas sales, and sticking to a normal mid-tower case, it could be possible, but I'll wait longer to build my next PC, because surely in EU, outside of UK and Germany, that offer very cheap prices, we won't be able to find component prices low enough before Easter. BTW, building a PC with roughly the same specs will be easy, but to offer the same performances a PC will need higher specs a few more tens MHz for CPU and GPU and a lot more RAM, due to non streamlined, general-purpose OS, not optimized for a unique HW config.
