Better performance gives way to less stability or quality. We could go with a crap ssd and psu and up the cpu and gpu all day but its not a better build.

you have mail in rebates enabled, that's cheating!

Oh lol. But that does bring the price down in real life, so I'm not sure if it's cheating or not (since the rebates will save me around $20)
