You probably don't need an optical drive for gaming, since pretty much every modern game is available digitally on PC. So that's -$43.

And if you already have a PC, you probably already have storage, a case, and an OS you can use on your new one. That's an additional -$50, -$34, -$32.

$652 - $159 = $493.

So if you already own any kind of PC, you can turn it into a monster for $493.

You can get a case + PSU for $45
Some cases will be an issue with other motherboards.
You can however just use the box the mobo comes with.
