cheaper case, peripherals if you're fine with that, though just leaving windows deactivated or getting a key off reddit/kinguin is probably enough.

What wouldn't leave you money for peripherals?

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?

Which is why I suggest buying a $600 or less R5 2400G system if you sell your GTX 980


If you keep your GTX 980, the R5 1600 is my go to.
