Reccomendations?

[ParzivalFX]

I am planning on building a new system relatively soon, however my current plan is too expensive. Any ideas on what to downgrade to reach a budget of 1200 dollars?

Here is the system build

Sure.

 Just use ethernet, skip the gaming mouse/keyboard, and if you can stand a bit longer load/boot times drop the ssd for the moment. = ~$115 less.

It's actually a pretty decent build.  My recommendations would be the following to get your budget down but it won't quite get you down to 1200 bux.

• Switch to Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4-2133 RAM instead for DDR4-3000
• Forgo overclocking and get a non-K 6500 CPU
• Skip the RGB keyboard and get that later.

Sure.

I would actually pick up a mechanical keyboard rather than the K55. There's some good one's out there like Sades K10 or EagleTec KG010

Yeah I can't vouch for them but they seem to have pretty good reviews
