Parts Tips?

[KingLuvely]

So new build coming up, this is what I have right now. I plan on using it for gaming and everyday use. Any ideas on potential price lowering without sacrificing performance in gaming? (I already have Hard drives)

cheaper 550w psu, case, and get an 8700+ stock cooler and B360 board or i5 8400 instead.

You can overclock the overclockable K CPUs like the i7 8700k on z370 boards, B360 boards are for the non K CPUs like the i7 8700
