Make it cheaper?

[Sven6895]

Hi guys this is a build put together by personal preference from many, many people that I asked and this was the main return for parts and performance, but I have a problem is that it's over the budget I set. Could anyone please, please give me a hand by cutting down the price of the build without major changes unless absolutely necessary?

It would be greatly appreciated

You could get an i5-4670K and lower your power supply to a 700 watt or even a 650 watt power supply. Those changes would not affect gaming performance.

If it's for a gaming rig generally the difference between the 4670k and 4770k is pretty negligible.

You don't need anywhere near a 750w power supply, more like a 500-550.

If you care about performance and consistency then you probably want to avoid wireless. If possible, run a cable.

Other than that it's up to lowering your GPU selection or dropping the SSD, depending on if you want better gaming performance or better load times.

Get an i5 4670k. Get a cheaper mobo. Get a GTX760 instead of the 770. Get a smaller power supply. Get rid of the ssd. Get a cheaper case

What do you want to cut it down to?

That's not much cheaper.

Sven - what do you want it to go down to price-wise?

 

[Sven6895]

Probably change the cpu to i5-4670k, I would probably get a cheaper motherboard, maybe some cheaper ram, I didn't really want to take away the ssd, probably a cheaper case.

My budget for the whole build was around $1350, but it can go about $80 higher.
