I don't think so. Rebates are not allowed, and your build goes over 600 w/o them.

Now PCPartpicker has edited the price.

There should not be any problem with it now.
 


I wonder is ASRock H110M-HDS Support that ram ??
even though it support that have to be overclocked with certain brand.

That RAM will work fine but will get limited to lower clock speeds.
 
ah I see... good to know 😀
btw, why don't you just pick up 2133 Mhz ram for cheaper price ??
there's no point using 2400 Mhz ram but u can't utilize it... I'm just sayin' 😀
 


That was the cheapest 8GB RAM available at that time.
 


THIS got my vote! Just barely met the maximum budget, but at least your build has both a decent sad as well as an HDD.That alone gets you my vote.
 


Dang. A 562 dollar rig! I paid that much for video card! Not that I'll tell you which one, Lol. We should also do accessory set ups or best combinations for 1000 dollar rig. Maybe we should do gamer food items, too. like cheapest pot pies or TV dinners. Stuff that you want to eat when your clan calls an emergecy meeting in BF4. Best booze for relaxing results. Just think. We'd expose every bad habit that gamers can have like the best VR headset to use while cooking and joystick attachments in the bathroom. We'd be well equipped! A 562 dollar rig. Impressive! Good for you!
