-Doubled SSD storage for $5 more. It's not a great quality SSD but it should be fine.
-changed the motherboard. This one has included wifi.
-Changed the PSU. Simply just changed it too a Corsair CX450. Much better unit.

$2 more? Yeah I don't think that's a problem lol.
Also its overbudget (by $2 lmao) because I doubled the storage, and added a much better motherboard.

Okay, I would simply just reduce the storage then. The Motherboard with Wifi will be much faster than a third party dongle.
