$6,000 Fail.

2P boards and Xeons are expensive. $6000 might not be that unrealistic

Update- here's my rig.

Don't cry please. Sorry about the cruddy photo, iPhone 4S + darkness = terrible pictures. I'll take more tomorrow, including one of the H100i's rad, which sits completely OUTSIDE the case because the case is in no way made for it

CPUs : $1399,98
Ram : $1866,16
GPU : $898,71
SSD : $329,99
HDDs : $239,96
Case : $349,99
Motherboard : $579,99
PSU : $249,99 (EWWWWWWW)
Cooling: $185,98

Total :  CA$6100,75

 

Doesn't include the OS.

Considering it's worth CA$6100 brand new, it certainly isn't worth US$6000, especially USED.

I also didn't bother getting the lowest prices, got all those prices off neweggs Canada, except the GPU, which was no longer available but the Amazon one seems to be more or less in the right price range.
