Help with new rig (1100$)

[Rezylee]

Just wondering if there was a way to decrease the price. Would like to stay nvidia and intel.

Yes there is:

CPU -Xeon 1230v3
Don't need cooler with the above, but if you must, you can easily buy a 12$ cooler that will work.

MOBO -Asus H97 Plus
Futureproof

GFX - Sapphire Radeon R9 280X Dual-X OC
Or even R9 280

Don't need Optical drive, just use some old junk you got lying around

Windows 8? Win 8.1 is out, you know that, right?

Try and recalculate on your own, should save you some bucks.

Don't need an aftermarket cooler if you aren't OC'in, but if you want one you shouldn't need anything above a coolermaster tx3.

Swapped some parts for their cheaper counterparts, including the case, the motherboard, and the power supply. The GPU is faster than the original one and the CPU is cheaper but equal.
