Could someone explain something to me? The Intel Core i7-5775C (presumably a cousin) is around $400. How is it this unit with the motherboard, the case and the power supply could be less than the prices of the cousin?

Looks like the 'C' variant is unlocked, and can be overclocked...not much else different. Maybe the price is high because item is no longer made, but some people want them for upgrades? To be fair, the i7 7700 (non K) isn't a huge improvement over the 5000 series, so if you had an 5000 series i3 processor and wanted a big upgrade, going to a 5775 wouldn't be a bad choice, even today...plus you'd avoid having to upgrade your ram to DDR4, which is crazy expensive right now.
This doesn't seem like a bad price, regardless! Guess you could sell it for parts. I think the i5775R isn't sold retail, so may only go to bulk customers like OEMs?
Last thing, with the 8000 series out and the "as good as" single core performance plus with more cores, lots of people may think a 5000 series build is a little dated and not be willing to shell out much for it. Oh, no room for bigger graphics and the IRIS Pro isn't bad, but can't compete with modern discrete, even low-end...
Just a bunch of guesses.

Add 16GB or even 8GB RAM and an SSD, along with Windows 10 Pro 64 and you'd have a heck of nice machine.
Great deal.
