1000 dollars less, performs the same. if you dont have a place for the extra money to go, donate it to charity or build a htpc

-i7s arent for gaming
-the phanteks tc12dx is 30 bucks cheaper while looking a bit better and cooling nearly as good
-maximus v board isnt necessary. does nothing to improve performance. overclocking will be the same
-cheaper ram sticks
-you dont need 16gb of ram for gaming
-cheaper SSD that performs close enough that you cant tell the difference between the 2
-i can get 2 blue drives at that price. caviar blacks are a rip off
-you dont need 2 670s to drive a 1080p panel. and anything above 45fps is fine. having 60 as a minimium is stupid when your monitor can only produce 60fps (unles you have a 120hz panel)
-case is stupidly big and wasted on a standard atx board
-750w is more than enough. not to mention this unit is the same thing but cheaper
