First ever pc build need help

[GBELILREESE]

Basically I need some help changing up what I've got to bring down the price of my rig. 

 

 

 

Could use some help with my current budget.

 

I've got a 1200$ dollar budget and can't seem to lower the price of this build.

 

Parts I will not change: CPU, GPU, and the PSU.

 

I'm willing to change the rest.

 

 

My current build

 

 

CPU Intel Core i7-3770K 3.5GHz Quad-Core $384.25 CPU Cooler Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing $30.89 Motherboard ASRock Z77 Extreme4 ATX LGA1155 $144.50 Memory G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1600 $152.98 Storage Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM $57.89 Video Card Asus GeForce GTX 970 4GB STRIX $398.50 Case Fractal Design Define R4 w/Window (Black Pearl) ATX Mid Tower $129.95 Power Supply Cooler Master 550W ATX $96.98 Optical Drive Samsung SH-224DB/RSBS DVD/CD Writer $22.98 Case Fan Noctua NF-F12 PWM 55.0 CFM 120mm $27.98   Noctua NF-F12 PWM 55.0 CFM 120mm $27.98   Noctua NF-F12 PWM 55.0 CFM 120mm $27.98   Noctua NF-F12 PWM 55.0 CFM 120mm

Add a SSD and a higher end cooler?

 

Your build is fine, I dont know why you want to spend money...

[AlwaysFSX]

i5 4690k, z97 board, 8 gigs of ram, remove the Noctua fans

[pckid]

If you are going to pay $1200 for a gaming pc, please don't use an asrock motherboard.

[pckid]

A lot of Asrock motherboards are odd and unreliable.

[GBELILREESE]

Basically the cost is of this build is 1486.58 dollars, and I'm trying to lower it to 1200$. 

[pckid]

You should choose an Asus or Gigabyte motherboard.

[GBELILREESE]

Yeah, changing the motherboard to an Asus, and will also be changing the power supply.

 

Thanks for the help everybody!

why a cheap case

[Arphenyte]

why a cheap case

Decent case, decent price, perfect for the budget. Why would he need a $80+ case?

[GBELILREESE]

I thought the case was ok. 

[pckid]

$30 case and he has a $1200 budget

[GBELILREESE]

I'm either picking a Fractal Design R4 case, or the corsair one.

 

 

Also, should I get a better cpu cooler? 

[pckid]

well he can build a sleeper pc with that case

[Krills]

You can get the r4 windowed for 80$ off newegg... 50$ less.

you dont need one unless you are overclocking

[GBELILREESE]

Well I'd like to thank you all for the help.

 

The price is now 1281.70$ (With two case fans), which seems good to me. I'm willing to put in an extra dollars for this build.

 

Shouldn't I be getting more case fans tho?

maybe a couple more for better cooling if you want

[Krills]

i believe that the r4 comes with 2 stock fans already...your call.

maybe fans with led lights and led strips to put in the case if you have a case with a side panel window
