1st Gaming pc

Hi forum,

I would like to build a comp. for gaming, my budget is about $800. The current build I came up with costs $900. Any ideas on cutting back the price.

There you go. 10000rpm drives are dumb and won't be any noticeably faster than a normal 7200rpm drive. They are a huge waste of money. I also changed the PSU and case. Both are of high quality and will work well.
