im trying to cut off somewhere in the build so i can get to around 600-700$.

 

the CPU will not change cuz i found a really good deal. i would like to keep the sshd too, if possible*.

Try buying from different places, might take some money off.

That PSU was not a deal

Also, that SSD was 8GB ...

Get a EVGA 600B for a PSU.

I've removed the CPU cooler, there is no reason at this time you will need to OC that CPU so the stock cooler will be just fine, you can always OC it in a few months time when you can afford a better cooler. I also changed the power supply to a 500W non modular one, you don't need 600W and if you on a budget put up with the wires, your case is windowless so it doesn't matter how it looks inside. I've also given you a cheaper graphics card, one thing to note about the cheaper card is there is only one DVI output so if you are sporting dual monitors one will have to be on DVI while the other on HDMI. Hope that's helped, here is the amended list:

hey man just asking but do you just have a ton of parts put together on pcpartpicker and whenever someone asks for one you just go grab the link?

[JAKEBAB]

i didnt take any ssd . it is a sshd , thank you for the psu tho

hes saying the ssd in the sshd is only 8gb

[ZanCrow]

hes saying the ssd in the sshd is only 8gb

i see, but i only plan to put my OS in the ssd, the hdd part will store my stuffs

 

is 8gb enough for my OS?

[JAKEBAB]

nope lol and it doesnt work as 2 separate drives it caches the programs u use most to speed them up doesnt give u ssd speeds but faster then hdd on the things it cached.

[ZanCrow]

i see, then the sshd is kinda useless, ill get a hdd then.

 

thanks ;D

[TyagoDani]

it's not useless. it's gonna speed up quite a bit things like system start up and shutdowns and the key things used on a daily basis like browser

[ZanCrow]

thanks ;D i think i understand the difference between dd and sshd, ill take it if i ahve spare money

[ZanCrow]

thx definitely the best psu for the price right now 

[mopman94]

Look at the parts list I posted earler, it still has the SSHD in it.

[TyagoDani]

thanks ;D i think i understand the difference between dd and sshd, ill take it if i ahve spare money

it's a good step up from a tradicional hdd, but it's not nearly as good as a pure ssd

[ZanCrow]

yes, i know , but u took out the Cooling, and i need it >,<

[mopman94]

yes, i know , but u took out the Cooling, and i need it >,<

Why do you need the extra cooling?

[ZanCrow]

Why do you need the extra cooling?

i heard a lot of bad things about the cooler coming with the cpu

[ZanCrow]

i think i should change my case, too expensive, im searching for a cheap case that has a usb 3,0 header

[TheRuke]

hey man just asking but do you just have a ton of parts put together on pcpartpicker and whenever someone asks for one you just go grab the link?

Nope, made to order! I just took his build and changed some parts. I know what most current prices are so I was able to figure out what things were overpriced or out of place. i.e. The PSU was 750W but he only needs 500W, which is also cheaper.

[mopman94]

i heard a lot of bad things about the cooler coming with the cpu

I've got an AMD FX 8350, I still use the stock cooler and play BF4 on ultra regularly. My CPU is yet to get anywhere near critical temperature and its going to be producing more heat than the CPU you have chosen.

The stock cooler will be fine, they won't sell you a CPU with a cooler than doesn't keep the CPU cool enough, people say bad things about everything, it doesn't mean it's true. Remember a lot of people that say those things are people that expect their CPU's to remain at a permanent 20 degrees C because they normally use heat sinks that cost more then their mortgage.
