The New Machine Part 4 (Final) The Cost

Now we come down to the cost of the whole build. Here is the amount I spent to get the build done. The prices are from the local shop. A few discounts here and there.

As a comparison and just to frustrate myself. The prices on say a website like www.newegg.com . In bold and red. Prices are as off October for simplifications purpose, because prices change everyday.
