Lower this PC build cost?

[AlbertGaming]

So I have a PC build in mind, but it is a little expensive. I would like to lower it. The PSU should be Gold rated. I want a Black/Yellow color scheme. I want the same case, CPU, and Graphics card. I would like to lower the RAM, CPU Cooler but still watercooled, maybe another motherboard, but the mobo I have selected has lots of USB ports which I need, and maybe the SSD and HDD. Thanks! http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2f7pnQ Would like to lower it about 200 dollars if you can.

The RM unit is not good. Avoid it.

For the PSU, go for Antec, XFX, Seasonic, EVGA (G2,B2)

Looks good, but either get 550w (no SLI) or 750w (SLI in the future). 650w is a waste of money.

Do 780 Ti's beat a singular 980?

One 980 is only a bit better than one 780ti. I would just get a single 980. Uses much less power too.

Okay thanks, and is there anything else I should change? You're the expert here 😛 Maybe shave off a couple of bucks? (BTW I think the GPU is a Steal! )

Lol sorry for asking but I thought about it and made a decision. Is there another case that has everything the 450D has, maybe even a built in fan controller? I want it to still look nice like the 450D. And are there better case fans that I can get? Of course the same price or cheaper.

I personally like NZXT case fans.

For cases, look at Phanteks, NZXT, and Coolermaster. They have great cases. You will have to buy a fan controller as cases generally don't come with them.

And for that $60 air cooler, can i not get a water cooler? I just think water cooling would be a better option since i'm going to overclock. Air cooler might get a little loud. Maybe even raise the price to under $100 for the cooler. That has to be enough for a decent water cooler.

Many air coolers are cooler and quieter than water coolers, especially at the $50-$60 price range. You need to spend $100+ to start getting real benefit.

Alright so what is a good cheap one for around $120?

I hear good things.

I would not recommend the kraken. MANY have pump failures. An air cooler would be a much better idea. We have had users and a MOD here go through a few X61's all having pump failures.
