http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3Rorw Was what I was originally going to go with then I realized I had some stuff in my place to sell which I didn't need so now I have $750 on hand. Optical drive is required as I am unable to use the one in my current computer (it doesn't have one), I really like the case for it's window, space, cable management slots, and it's price so I want to stick with that, and I prefer to use a 760 / i5. I've tried to build a good comp with a 760 and a newer i5 and the build ended up being too close to 800 due to me not being able to find a reliable sub 100 1150 socket mobo, on top of me being obsessed with having my parts color coordinated so I have to spend a couple bucks more on RAM than I need just to have blue ones, and of course the stupid optical drive

Not necessarily, I checked the merchants that were available and most of them make up the price difference between them and newegg with ridiculous shipping costs, so i'd rather have free shipping and being able to get everything at once than having to pay more for the product and shipping than the product is worth itself

this stuff is only $750 due to mail in rebates which don't work half the time

"Mail-in Rebates: -$70.00" without them it's too close to $800 for me

NO. I turned rebates off. No rebates there. Free shipping. No tax unless you live in a state that has a newegg warehouse.
