I'd like to bring that price down closer to $700 without losing too much performance. Some of these items had combo deals together this past weekend but i did not have the means to pay for it then and now the combos have disappeared. Any help dwindling this down closer to $700 would be much appreciated but I may be susceptible to some nudging to just suck it up and do it.
