$565. And it comes with a $50 MIR.
It's up to you and how you spend your money. PSA offers pretty good deals, but you can build for cheaper if you shop around with just as good or better parts. They are not the end all be all of quality budget parts. You can get a Wilson upper from JSE for $375+ and a complete lower from SAA for $139....$514 plus shipping and transfer for the lower. Watch for specials at JSE too. They have 1 complete upper for $310, add a rifle kit (no frills) for $90, then get a $40+ Anderson lower. Then you have less then $500 (without shipping) for a weapon. Just shop around.
I built this mid length for less then $500 by shopping around with all individual pieces except the BCG and FCG. And don't let the lack of a forward assist of no dust cover frost you, works just fine. And i regularly shoot it in sandy areas as well as swamps, fields, rain....

And don't fall for the CHF barrel hype as a selling point. It really isn't. CHF has been around since before WWII and is nothing special other then being the cheapest way to manufacture barrels. Doesn't mean the quality sucks, you are just getting a barrel that works.

After watching YouTube, I'd build a suppressed SBR AR if I had unlimited $$$. 
$55 for the Anderson lower, $42 for the upper, $65 for the Ares Armor BCG, $49 for the Anderson LPK, $21 for the Umbrella grip (now sold as B5 systems), $74 for the YHM gas block/sight, $64 for the Troy folding sight, $24 for the gas tube and Sage trigger guard, $48 for the MOE handguard and grip, $40 for the DSA stock/buffer kit (swapped it for the MOE off the mid length), $86 for the 10.5" barrel, $28 for the barrel nut/delta ring, and $400 for the Halo-usedAfter watching YouTube, I'd build a suppressed SBR AR if I had unlimited $$$.
Just under $600 for what I wanted, without the halo and paperwork. i could have gone cheaper, but then I would end up spending more to set it the way I want.
