Do you think you could cheapen this build by 50-200$ without compromising to much of the quality? Any help would be appreciated!!!

get a 400w power supply and if you want I highly recommend upgrading ur GFX card

 

 

EDIT: I don't think that CPU is overclockable so a smaller powersupply like 350watt

Hi friend.Who are you?

LGA1150 "boxed" (retail) Xeon, like the one in the OP include a heatsink and fan.

 

@theorangeninja23,

 

There are less expensive motherboards but the Gigabyte in this suggestion has 4 memory slots to allow for an easy memory upgrade should that ever be desired.
