Just guessing from the "final parts list from the builder", and that he misformatted the memory total on the CPU cooler line, he way overpaid for something built for him that he doesn't fully understand. He could have ended up with 16 cores and 128GB building around the E5-2670, which is dirt cheap on eBay and elsewhere these days. $500 for motherboard, both CPUs, and 128GB (granted, DDR3 and not DDR4 per his build): http://www.natex.us/product-p/intel-s2600cp2j-128gb.htm http://www.natex.us/product-p/intel-s2600cp2j-128gb.htm
