Mail in rebates are kind of a crapshoot. Honestly I wouldn't worry about it too much - the quality of the motherboard matters more than the discount.
how about this...

at the first time, I'm not include SSD to this list, but since you do programming I think SSD is really necessary to make the programming software run fast.
and since you're gammer too, 1060 6gb is best for your budget.
 
This is a solid build for you:

I like this one, just would get a board that allows nonK OC, like the B150M Hyper or H170 Hyper.
But if he's not into oc, that would be fine.
 


I agree with you, at first thought I put H170 hyper in that list, but I don't know he's overclock or not, so I just playing save.
but if he's do overclock B150 Hyper or H170 Hyper is way to go its not a big differences in price though.
 


It's nice but an SSD is important for faster loading/boot times. An HDD alone will do well too, but if you can spend some more, spend it on an SSD.
 


cheaper mobo with equal performance and cheaper psu with good quality, done !
