This parts are what's on my mind. Is there any recommendations that can make this build cheaper and consume less power?

 

My aim is to do some gaming and surf the web and watch movie.

Yes this build is fine. But get the EVGA 430W instead of the 400W. It's quite a bit better (you have to worry less about whether it will die and kill something)

 

Alternatives are the CX430, CX450M

We have a NEW and GLORIOUSER-ER-ER PSU Tier List Now. (dammit @LukeSavenije stop coming up with new ones)

You can check out the old one that gave joy to so many across the land here

You shouldn't skimp out on the PSU. You should get a power supply that is rated 80+ or better as this could save some money from your electrical bills in the future.

This is the updated parts. I removed the CPU cooler because I am not overclocking it anyway. Changed the PSU and GPU. Add a case.
