Ah, I should have elaborated.
I first built this system a while ago. When I built it the specs were as follows:
5930-k
2X GTX 980ti (MSI)
MSI X99 Gaming S ATX motherboard
DEEPCOOL 360mm AIO
Rosewill THOR v2 case
EVGA 850 watt Gold PSU
G.SKILL DDR4 ram, 16 GB
500 gb Samsung Evo SSD
2X WD blue 2 TB drives
WHEN I BUILT IT most of these products were brand new, so I was paying early adopter's tax on pretty much everything but the PSU and the case. With tax and shipping I remember it being around $5800. So you're right, not $6k, but pretty damn close.
