Is there anything that can make my new build cheaper?

Go to solution Solved by ScratchCat,

$124 for a 500GB SSD is extremely high. You can get a 500GB 980 (non-Pro) for half that price.

Budget (including currency): 1500 AUD

Country: Australia

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: CS:GO, Subnautica, Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator

Other details: I've already got RAM and a monitor. I do need to get a keyboard and am wanting to run at 144hz 1440p.

Is there any way to make this build cheaper without hugely affecting performance?

do you already have that RTX 2060? because there's no price for it
