Need help reducing cost

[COTG]

Hello dear linustechtips community,

Im currently planning a build for my friend, who will be gaming at 1080p with a 144hz monitor. 
His budget is around 1300cad for the pc itself, and I need some help to try and bring the price down as much as possible without skimping too much on essentials. Hes gonna be mostly playing pubg at med-high settings.

Heres a link to the current build.  https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/user/Clemens/saved/y2rXP6

He said he doesn't care too much about aesthetics-noise, so Im currently looking at cutting down on the case-motherboard.

If any of you guys have some good deals-ideas, any help is appreciated! 

 

P.s 

It would be helpful if the items were distributed amongst as little retailers as possible to save on shipping
