For the heck of it, I did the breakdown
CPU: $2,789 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116...)
RAM: I could not find the identical type but it seems like it's in the ballpark of ~$800 given the ones I found were either a tad slower or came in 8 pieces instead of 4 (but then they were faster).
GPU: It seems like the exact GPU was introduced only for Mac Pro so it does not seem like you can buy it normally. But let's say ~$700.
HDD: ~$500-$600 http://www.amazon.com/Crucial-2-5-Inch-adapter-Internal-CT96...
Motherboard: Seems like best LGA 2011 motherboards are in the the ~$500 range.
Total: ~$5300 (given you'd probably spend a couple more hundred on a power supply, case etc). Note that when I was estimating the prices, I was generally estimating higher than lower.
So I'd really like to see their cost breakdown of the 11k they mentioned.
