United State | Why do you need that though? You can easily build a highly functional gaming system with most of those peripherals for way less than 3k.
You only need a 1.2kw PSU if you're going to be running 2+ GTX 280s. |

If you really want to play games why would you waste your money on something like a bluray drive? Why would do you need a laser printer for gaming? Water cooling? Give me a break dude. If you really want the newer games to run faster you are going to need a new system - But half the overpriced crap you have on your list isn't needed - nor will it enhance the gameplay experiance of any games. A single ATI 4850 which outperforms an 8800GT and only costs 180 bucks only needs a 500w PSU at most. Even including the price of a new monitor, you wouldn't have to spend more then 1500 for a new system that will play any game with maximum settings.
But I suppose if you want crap like a bluray drive and a laser printer (huh?) you'll be waiting a while. |

Then sell your current 7800 to pretty much make up the difference, and you're back to only spending $40.
But doing that you'll end up with a much better graphics cards than 7800 SLI. Of course that is dependent on you being able to come up with the extra funds. You can usually find the 8800GT ~$100 A/R so if you can manage like $130 up front, it would be ok. You could then get a $30 rebate and sell your old card for ~$50-60.
