This is a build im saving for. It is generally just for gaming and light editing until i can get a laptop for editing. It's main priority is high fps and low temps at 1080p with possible mild overclocking later down the road (Hence the PSU). Please give me some advice or improvements on how i can cut down the price, thank you :)

  • Try and get a matched set of RAM, not two random sticks
  • I strongly suggest fitting an SSD in somehow
  • I'd get a cheaper PSU, drop the fans, and put the money towards at least a 1060. This is a rather unbalanced build

Basically exactly what @Rasbir Singh did.

I would agree. 1060 you're going to get a better value than a 1050Ti.

the build i listed above is slightly cheaper than your list, you can cut the i7 down to an i5 or change the case if you want it cheaper.
