Can this be cheaper?

[Jason_Tan_]

I am going to be building a computer very soon and want to cut down the price by however much I can. There are a few things that need to stay though, one would the rx 480 and the case but the rest can go if there is a cheaper alternative. I am going for something that looks really good, hence the case, and has a black based theme. I prefer more basic colors (black, white) because I might add leds and don't want conflicting colors. Here is my pcparticker: http://pcpartpicker.com/list/D4BKqk Thanks in advance!

Ditch the ssd, go with a cheaper cooler, cut it down to 8gb of ram buy windows of kingwin and buy a 6600k instead of a 6100

Cheaper motherboard is an option, also you could go for something like a Hyper 212 which would cut down by like $10. There's definitely cheaper RAM out there. One thing to keep in mind, you're good right now, but never cheap out on your power supply.

Would you consider my current power supply "cheap"?

also get a 1060 instead of the rx 480, 1060 is a better card

No, like I said, you're good right now, but keep that in mind when you're trying to shave off costs.

Okay, thanks just wanted to be sure ;D

If you aren't overclocking, get a h170 motherboard, there are some differences but none you would notice, I think.

I also agree with cheaper ram, 8gb should be fine for gaming.

I posted what I think is a much better build. I don't know why you would put an i3 and H chipset inside of a $140 case. Much rather have a beast that looks like a potato than a potato painted in gold.

Not cheaper but better..

i3 in a $1000 build. Form over function.

 

>$300 for an RX 480 is a waste of money

A ~$200 1060 3G can match its performance/even perform better, forget the GPU LED logo. The LED fans and strips will take of that.
