I would like to lower the price as much as possible while not affecting performance.

 

I also would like to keep it black-and-white.

Replace the cpu cooler with a Cryorig R1 / Phanteks TC14PE.

Shot through the heart and you're to blame, 30fps and i'll pirate your game - Bon Jovi

it only shaves off $30, and, even if it is better, i would still go with the Kraken for looks

noted on the cooler and PSU, i really prefer the look of the 780t (and it's cheaper)

if you really wanted to cut costs you could get the z170 krait instead of the pro you could get a cheaper aio or even a air cooler but the h100i is the lowest I'd go personally, you could get a 1.5/2tb hdd and a 256gb ssd that would probably save you some cash

I'd get a h440 or a white enthoo luxe but I'm not sure if there more expensive than the 780t in the US

i swapped to the h100i GTX (saved $20) ad a 860W PSU (saved $40)

 

as for drives, the SSD is necessary.

I'll stick with the ASUS pro

something I can tell you from experience is don't skimp now on your stuff because you'll regret not saving up that extra 50 or so $ to get that cooler or ssd or whatever you really wanted and your probably gonna end up hating the stuff you bought to save. I regret buying the luxe instead of saving and buying that white enthoo primo I always wanted
