I have made this build to try and get the best performance for under $800 to play games like cities skylines and No Limits 2 at 1080P High settings, 60 fps.

I just want to know if anyone has any recommendations for any equally qualified cheaper parts. Specifically the PSU, Optical Drive, and Storage.

 

Here is the Link.

if you haven't got the graphics card yet you could get something a little better like a r9 380 or gtx 960 and have it new to boot http://pcpartpicker.com/products/video-card/#X=15554,18052&sort=d4&page=1

Do you have a psu in mind?

There's a 550 watt g2 for 70ish, hell you could probably go with 430 watts in a seasonic s/m12ii for quite a bit cheaper and the 520ish watt version of those for a bit more. If you aren't looking for modular the lower end 500-550 watt coolermaster or xfx units are great
