Lowering build price

AdoptedAsian · October 30, 2017

Here is my current build plan: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/user/AdoptedAsian/saved/xWJf8d (It stands at about £1745 right now).
The problem is that I don't want to go too much over my £1600 budget. If any of you can suggest some ways I can lower the price (eg. Slower but cheaper SSD) and provide links/part names then it'll help me stay within my budget. Do keep in mind that I'm buying the parts in about 5 months so hopefully GPU and RAM prices will be slightly cheaper by then. I also want to upgrade to a strix 1070Ti depending on the price and performance increase over the standard 1070. If you think what I'm trying to achieve isn't possible then please let me know.

EDIT: I'll wait 4-5 months until I'll know what parts and prices there are to choose from. Don't bother replying anymore

5 months!?! Why are you making a parts list now then?

If flash modules used in SSDs and RAM recover to their previous prices (Kinda doubtful), and GPUs come back down to what the normal price was a year or so ago, then you would be able to get the build back under your budget. (A side note, ZEN+ may be announced by the time you start building) No real point in trying to budget the components so far out in advance.
