This one is a bit cheaper, and sacrifices mass storage, SSD quality (still good, just not as good as MX500), lowers the RAM speed which will affect the overall performance of the CPU compared to 3000MHz, but it's an acceptable minimum at 2666MHz.

If you can afford the first build I put together, then get it.

Otherwise, look at this second build as what will fit better within your budget.

Can keep the higher speed RAM if you were to upgrade to a P300 2TB HDD and remove the SSD from the equation.
