Cutest little HEDT powerhouse I've ever owned 
Shuttle SX79R5 (original box included)
Retail boxed 3960x (original box included)
4x8gb Crucial DDR3 1600 CT2KIT102464BA160B
Asetek 545LC 92mm liquid cooler (original box included)
240 GB Crucial M500 mSATA
Broadcom BCM4352 802.11ac + Bluetooth 4.0 mini-PCI with dual antenna kit
$750 shipped
Choice of video cards:
EVGA GTX 750ti SC 02G-P4-3753-KR (+75)
Gigabyte GTX 760 GV-N760OC-2GD (+100)
GTX 970 (GTX970-DCMOC-4GD5) +225)
Use of the 760 or 970 requires the hard drive cage be removed since the PCIe power impedes it sitting flush.
I completed this build last July after accumulating new. boxed parts and having them sit in my closet. SX79r5 was purchased direct from Shuttle, new, in June '15. The 3960x was purchased sealed from a friend whose wife works at Intel in May '15. RAM purchased new in July '15 from TigerDirect. Asetek purchased this month. M500 purchased new in Jan '15. Taking a hefty loss but it's time to get ready for that 10 core i7 6950x, and I already have a P9X79 Pro 3960x desktop... and a dual E5-2670 workstation... so it's got to go
Pictures forthcoming.
