I'd pay the extra dollar for the WD drive considering Toshiba is leaving the PC space.

This is your build adjusted to meet the budget.

  • An very good mATX case without a window
  • A different gpu
  • Eliminate the hard swap stuff, on an 850 budget stick to the basics
  • A lower capacity psu that is more than sufficient for the build and upgrades
  • A PCIe x1 WiFi adapter, keeps it all in the box
  • Eliminate the lightlng, on an 850 budget stick to the basics
