Money Saving Help

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,

You missed the point of the thread entirely. He needed help, SAVING money. 

What he did was helpful too, I said I had a 1500 usd budget and more expensive parts that were better were welcome.

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.
