So I'm trying to to do a new build, but I'm a little over budget. I really want the following in the build

 

4690K

Gtx 770

some sort of 250GB ssd (maybe an a-data premier pro)

2TB harddrive

Define r4

 

here is what i have now:

Any sugestions on how to get the price down?

Give us the budget and location and we will get you a new build within your budget

RIG: I7-4790k @ 4.5GHz | MSI Z97S SLI Plus | 12GB Geil Dragon RAM 1333MHz | Gigabyte G1 Gaming GTX 970 (1550MHz core/7800MHz memory) @ +18mV(Maxed out at 1650/7800 so far) | Corsair RM750 | Samsung 840 EVO 120GB, 1TB Seagate Barracuda | Fractal Design Arc Midi R2 (Closed) | Sound Blaster Z                                                                                                                        Getting: Noctua NH-D15 | Possible 250GB Samsung 850 Evo                                                                                        Need a console killer that actually shits on every console? Here you go (No MIR/Promo)

This is why you should not get an FX CPU for ANY scenario other than rendering on a budget http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/286142-fx-8350-r9-290-psu-requirements/?p=3892901 | http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/266481-an-issue-with-people-bashing-the-fx-cpus/?p=3620861

Change your case to the Cooler Master Storm Scout 2. It is 30 dollars cheaper than the R4 and is a little bit less quiet, but the build quality is just as good and the handle is extremly useful
