I wanted to know where I can save a few more dollars based on the parts that I picked. If possible I'd like to drop it down to $900 but I have a feeling that would prove to be pretty difficult. I would like to keep the part shopping within Amazon if possible.

There really isnt much there to work with. I would not suggest going lower with anything there expect maybe the CPU to a 1500.

The PSU is already at the limit. I would actually recommend something higher but a 500w would do I guess.

You are already giving up and SSD for a cheaper HHD etc... not to much more you can change if you want to game on this thing.

One thing I would recommend is why not look at the Ryzen bundles on newegg.com? You will most likely save some cash there.

That's actually really sick, thank you.
