Hi need to figure out how to make my build cheaper but stay around the same specs 

http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/p/sFHddC

 

Got it down to $1141 with the same performance, potentitally you could upgrade your card to something like an R9 290, or even pop the i7 4690k !!!

Better: http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/p/9TR2WZ

 

idk, that aio would be loud, so what fan would be better for heatsink, NZXT or sickleflow?

Neither would be that good. A Rosewill Hyperborea would be a better replacement.

Well even with the 290 its still hundreds cheaper than this original build

 

TBH we do not know how cheap he wants to go...., I am not sure, even just an sp120 quiet would make a big difference, but fans can be upgraded later, it will not effect performance, so the OP can always upgrade the fan on the AIO later

 

 

 

Better: http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/p/9TR2WZ

 

Neither would be that good. A Rosewill Hyperborea would be a better replacement. 

 

 

I was considering recommending that too. If the OP has no interest in OCing then this is a really good way to go

SSDs dont really matter, They are a luxury that I would not sacrifice the PC performance for

 

That said the OP could choose a cheaper case and board and fit an SSD in, but since he has not replied with any further details it is hard to say

 

I would build something completely different for that budget

I would get a much cheaper Mobo and bump up to a 280X, or wait for GTX 870, also i think WD hard drives are much more reliable than Segate

i7 2600 | HD 6870 | 8GB Memory | 120GB Samsung 840 EVO | 500W PSU | Fractal Define R4



I have a lot of upgrade plans, and no money  :)
