For the cpu cooler I prefer the cooler master hyper 212 evo.

You are way overpaying for the ram. Get 2 sticks of 4 gb ram for about $45.

For the video card, either increase your budget by about $20 and get a 7870 or lower it and get a different 7850. Or you could get a cheaper mobo and put that cash towards a better gpu.

Trade that case for an antec 300 or a cooler master elite 430.

You don't need a 700w psu, get a lower wattage one that is 80+ certified. (at least 500w)

^ that

But going off from your build:
1. get a cheaper motherboard
2.cheaper ram (same amount)
3. A different ssd (128 gb one for the same price)
4.STAY AWAY FROM COOLMAX!!!
5. get a 7870 or a gtx 660ti

Oh man yeah don't pay $85 bucks for a 40 gb ssd. Get at least 80 gb for that.

 

[Ngmiller1]

Can anyone plz tell me how to lower the cost without lowering the quality

 

[Norlag]

Just do what we said and you'll save a bunch of cash you can put into a better gpu and case.
