ok ok, let's recap:

CPU This i5 760 was at lower price when price matched than the i5 750, so why not? :D
Motherboard
RAMx2 With all the rebates I got, I can allow me another 2x2GB pack ;)
PSU
HDD
Sound card
DVD drive
Case I'll go with the same case as my two friends, it's nice and they both like it :D
I got some fans too, to add some refreshment and look ;)

All this for $1 022.88...

BUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

With all the rebates I got from the NCIX "Price match" tool, it all comes down to $910.61 !!!
This is still under my initial budget, and it's a waaaay better system than I expected at the begining :D

I just wanna have your final (I hope!) opinion on this before I rush the credit card ;)
Superb set for a fantastic price. :thup:

After posting my last message, I saw that all the rebates I requested needed to be APPROVED by NCIX, and after reading their price match instructions, I realised half the rebates I requested could probably get refused :horror: :(
So I only took 4GB RAM, finally, because if the price match attempt failed, it could get over my budget.

* * *

I just received a mail from NCIX, 30mins after ordering, telling me that ALL THE REBATES WERE ACCEPTED!!! :bigok:
So I could have took the other 4GB RAM, but it's already ordered, so too bad :P

Well yes! It is finally and officially ordered! This superb system at more than 100$ cheaper than it's worth :D
I will keep you updated about when I'll receive it and how it'll run, but for now, I want to thank you for your, as always, really appreciated help and support!

:thup: :D :bigok: ;) :)
