What Parts Can I Cut Down on to Make this Builder Cheaper?

[deanthakid]

This build should be built in August so hopefully the prices fall so I can buy more items

 

[deanthakid]

I'll try to budget in a SSD and Liquid Cooler so I can get more performance from the pc overall

Sure thing, I'll keep an eye out too if you wan't! :d

 

[deanthakid]

Yes! That would be amazing if you could do that too and post an update on this thread to alert me for price drops. Thank you for all of your help

OK, the prices fell slightly, go for this mobo https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XPM7FSR/ref=psdc_1048424_t1_B07CZ5DBT6 and this GPU https://www.amazon.com/XFX-AMD-Radeon-Core-RX-550P4SFG5/dp/B071QXB522/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1529153721&sr=1-1&keywords=1050+ti+4gb along with this CPU https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B0741DN383/ref=dp_olp_all_mbc?ie=UTF8&condition=all which includes the stealth cooler that makes OC possible. In total you should save around 70-90$ (possibly more).

Edit: forgot to say that this mobo and GPU combination would also support VR .

Also, do you have any windows 7,8 or 8.1 product keys? If so, you can just download official windows 10 iso, and use the older windows key to register it, it works!
If you think I'm lying, see the official answer below this page answered this year: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-windows_install/can-i-activate-windows-10-with-windows-7-or-8-key/832d8b0a-6fc4-4f3f-a020-139ce895c656?auth=1

If so, you have another 100$ off :d, which you can either save or get a better PC with :lol:.

I was thinking about that same thing. This is my second build and is actually for my cousin. I have a product key for Windows 10 from my first build and was wondering if that would work for this build. If it does work, then I could budget in the water cooler and ssd!

 

[CoDrift]

Depends, if the Product Key is already used to register a functional Windows, then NO, but if it's not being used or the windows was uninstalled, then YES.

If you don't have any, I can help! I've bought a lot of windows DVDs over the years, the disks usually get scratched out or break, so I have alot of Product Keys to spare, which I just give away to my friends or other family members if they need any. So I'll PM you a spare Win 7 key I've got lying around later(Because Windows is alot cheaper in my country ).

Oh, and did you read the earlier messages about the cheaper parts? :/
