Hello!
I'm trying to build a comp and wanting to ensure I got the biggest bang for the buck.


Short question: Are there any parts worth changing to decrease the value overall but still provide the same performance? Additionally, are there any parts worth spending a tad bit more on for significantly higher performance(s)?
