Hey guys, I'm putting together a new Build for my birthday, but it's over my budget. I was hoping to keep it around $1400, but I wasn't successful. Can you guys help me in reducing the price. I will mostly be gaming and using photoshop. I do however want to keep the 1080 and any I7 Processor is fine. Here's the link. 

 

Thanks guys

Use PCPartPicker, I mean it!

Why are you so set on an i7? i5s will do the jobs pretty damn well and there's always the Ryzen :P
