Around $825, but that was just the estimate on partpicker, it could vary a bit.

You should be looking at a Haswell build right now, as there is no point spending around the same and getting an outdated platform. Also with this build and the Newegg combo's you can still spend the same, same case and get a GTX760 which is the replacement for the 660Ti, the model up from the 660.

It sure is. Any i5 or i7 followed by a 4xxxk or 4xxx is a Haswell.
