No, that is about retail cost for those parts new...and if you are planning to buy new, you can get better parts for about the same money.

there is so much more to find in the internet. you may want to look for other sites. you will get more higher specs than that at the same cost

It's a reasonable system apart from the shakey nvidia/Asus board and low quality case, but that's an old second hand system, possibly more than 2 years old. You could buy a brand new PC with similar specification for that sort of money.
