I'd say that's pretty high end.

If I'm reading this right and my system info right. Each one of your processors has 1.5x the speed of my entire computer. And you have 8x times the video RAM. I'd say that's a pretty decent computer.

Lies... you're just here to gloat ;)

I have a upper mid range comp (able to play every game out, but not on maximum settings). Yours has about twice the stats, way more on the gfx card end, and is only about 3 times the price. Good purchase.

You bought a good computer, but it should have a USB drive. Because USB drive is necessary when you want to connect your phone with computer or connect pen drive with your computer. So you can easily transfer your data.

Aurora on small monitors:
1. Game Parameters -> Reduced Height Windows.
2. Lock taskbar to the right side of your desktop.
3. Run Resize Enable

Quite lovely, but I'm a bit biased because it's the same specs I'm getting for a custom build in just a few days. :P
Though I'm getting an i5-2500 instead of a 2500K.
MB is a bit different though.

But you did pretty good on the price. My custom build is only cheaper because I didn't have to get a new HDD, monitor, and OS.

I am not sure what the power demand of each component is, but you may want to add them up just to be sure.
800 W is a reasonably beefy power supply.
