^ Isn't that $200 more after rebates above the OPs budget?

E.G means for example and the reason it says 600-800 is it's part of the requirements to post a request to make a build, you have to go here and fill this out: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/261222-31-build-advic... The standard example is 600-800 OP just didn't delete the EG which you don't have to.
