Hello, 

 

I have a build planned out on pcpartpicker that is $400 over budget. I just wanted to know how I could bring the total price down to $2,000 

 

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/NX7pmG 

 

1. Budget: $1,800 - $2,000 USD 

 

2. Aim: I want to be able to game and program. Also web browsing. 

 

3. Monitors: I want to be able to run 1 or 2 monitors.

If you can afford a 780Ti, go for it, but if not go for the non ti.

Get a windows key from g2a for 30$

If you are only using the SSD for the OS go for a 128gb or less

If you are overclocking get a better mobo, imo

Can you wait a little for the 4690k?

1. Don't get 4670K, it sucks for overclocking, wait for 4690K.

2. Get air cooling or a cheaper water cooler, Swiftech is really expensive.

3. Get a better mobo like Sabertooth Z97 Mark 2.

4. Get cheaper RAM's, Platinum aren't worth it.

5. Get a 120GB SSD instead.

6. Get a cheaper GPU, IMO GTX770 has got the best price/performance ratio.

7. Get normal Windows instead of a pro.

8. Get a cheaper powersupply, this is an overkill in the wattage also.

9. Get WD Blue or Seagate Barracuda, I doubt you need the performance of the (noisy) WD Black.
