After getting this horrid 'got to get most expensive thing' bug out of my system, here's what i've come up with now:
This is 822.62 grand total (includes shipping/tax)
812.62 after rebates.
What do you think? Will this fill my appetite for OCing? Oh, and the ram is not the actual ram. Newegg didn't have G.Skill ram w/ 7 timing in stock, so i put the same priced ram in the cart to see total.
