$695 Before Rebates
$625 After Rebates

Yes, it is impossible to have a quad core i5 CPU with your budget at least you have a Phenom II X4 QUAD which is pretty good too but not as good as the i5-2500k of course.

Make sure you buy all the parts ASAP, if you want to buy this build. They will soon be out of stock especially the monitor.
If you want to spend more since after rebates is only 625. Get a 6870.

The suggested build above looks good; however, I recommend Intel over AMD. The i3-2100 gives off enough performance to match quad core processors and it even performs on par and sometimes slightly better than Phenom II x4 970: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/best-gaming-cpu-core-i3-2100-phenom-ii-x6-1075t,2859-10.html

My suggestion would be changing your build to this:

Intel Core i3-2100 $110

Total: $711
After MIR: $629

If you want to do $700 after MIR then I would get the following instead:
Antec HCG 620W $65 [$50 after MIR]
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371048&Tpk=HCG%20620

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102948

In truth, you only need around 500W for a HD 6870 but I saw that 500w is the same price point around the 620W that Antec offers. You have extra space room to work and feel safe about. Good luck and I would recommend buying these ASAP during black friday
