5 rebates is just a little too much work for me.when I could handpick similar components from Newegg for about $20 more.
Sure a good amount of work on the rebates, but from a quick rundown of these parts it would be $100 more.
CPU $215, Asus mobo Egg has for $105 -rebate and code, 16Gb of good memory $90 = $410. The Kingwin PSU is $60 and not something I'd want to run with and a part you could finagle a little and find <$10-15. That leaves you that liquid cooler somthing comparable to a Corsair H70 would be around $50-60. Finally that case or any nicer case that's more to your liking... figure $50 or a little less.
Without some serious concessions it would be like $60-70 more to replicate this.
