Get windows from G2A

Also your case already comes with a PSU you can remove the psu you added and use the one that comes with your case for a while

Also change the HDD to this

Alright, the most I was able to get it down was to $550. If you wanted to reduce it even more you could maybe go with a GTX 750 (non Ti) that has 2GB GDDR5 memory and upgrade it later down the road to a GTX 750 Ti or greater.

Okay, well here's the build configuration:

Western Digital IMHO is better, besides, that Seagate drive is the same price as the WD one.

Seagate drives are just fine and btw the Seagate is 3 cents cheaper. LOL

WOW! 3¢ cheaper. That's a huuuuggggeeeee difference. LOL

Well we could argue about this all day or we could agree to disagree. I think we should go for the latter.

If you have any extra old hard drives you can try to reuse them for you build,  When I first made my build I reused an older 150 gb Seagate until I had some cash for my SSD.
