I am working on a budget PC build. I am trying to keep it under $700.

 

Here is what I have right now.

I already have a hard drive so I don't need another one.

 

If you have any ideas that could help my build please let me know.

Thank you

If you have any ideas that could help my build please let me know.

Get a cheaper case* and get an r9 270 instead. 

Also, go with an i5 4690 and an h97 board and lose the hyper 212 and you'll be at $700.

I would not recommend the Antec 900 case, that case as nice as it looks is a case that was released almost over half a decade ago.

A more value-oriented case would beat that case in utility.
