You should be able to find the weights of all of those parts here:

Punch all of your components into the spoke calculator at the DT Swiss website and it'll give you an accurate weight of the complete wheel at the bottom of the page. (you can sign in as an anonymous user, it's a free site)

A good way to know for certain is buying a cheap postal scale. I got an electronic one for $20 off of EBay and weigh anything and everything with it.

I don't know, probably around 2 Kg more or less. It sounds pretty solid.
