You can nickle and dime this, but you'll need to go above $550 if you need an OS, Monitor, KB, and Mouse. You can drop $15 by going with 2x2 GB of RAM instead of 2x4 and save another few dollars per part on things like the PSU, Case, getting a smaller HDD, dropping the optical drive, etc
But this is what I recommend.

Dropping the Optical Drive, getting a cheaper case and PSU, dropping the aftermarket cooler and getting the retail instead of tray CPU, and getting a 250 GB HDD instead of 1 TB HDD and you're still at $606. Better than $680, but I wouldn't recommend going that route.
