$104 after -20
$79
AMD Ram made by OCZ
AMD board made by asus
then theres -17
making it $168
-2% bcb lower ($3.75)
your way it's 98+80 = 178 -2% bcb ($3.56) but loose ram
same cost, however the RAM is better because of re-sale value. or just selling it new for $125~120
you see then you've made $22 from absolutely nothing
please tell me how it's cheaper
its OCZ ram, how many times do we have to stress the fact that OCZ, as of late, has failed over and over to produce RAM modules that run at RATED speeds and timings? out of the box the best you can expect out of that RAM is loose 1333 mhz timings, meaning you could have just spent $95 on the 1333 adata
its not worth it to buy junk just for an extra $10, AFTER mail in rebate
and my way im not talking about simply buying the mobo and buying the ram, you COMBO the motherboard with a PROCESSOR for a $10-20 combo rather than combo'ing it with junk RAM
lets do 2 scenarios
mobo combod with PSU, RAM seperate

Total cost $237.xx
$30 MIR
final cost $207.xx
Now
mobo combod with ram + psu
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817341019http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.354695$262.97 after EMCYPNP43 for $5 off PSU
-$50 in MIRs
$212.xx
which is better? the OCZ ram for $10 more AFTER MIRs, which may or may not run at rated timings, or the ADATA for $10 less?
