I'm planning a high end gaming rig build and wanted to see if anyone can lower the price without sacrificing performance, I don't care very much about noise, so focus on fps.

My budget is 1500 usd so more expensive but better performing parts are also welcome!

Thanks,

I believe you can get an OS for cheaper on https://www.kinguin.net/. Pretty sure it's legit.

 

When I did my build, every day for a month I scanned the retail sites for daily deals, like Amazon, Newegg, NCIX ect and I was definitely able to save some money that way.

I ditched the Sound card, got you a way better case and power supply (which is from a more safe brand and was cheaper), a better cpu cooler which should make things quieter, though I lowered the 1080 to a 20 dollars cheaper one.
