Micro ATX Budget Build

[SherlockJones]

I don't have a lot of money so I tried to make the most efficient cheap upgradable PC as possible. What do you think I can do to save any more money?

This case is cheaper and offers better airflow. https://www.amazon.com/MasterBox-Magnetic-Transparent-Acrylic-Performance/dp/B0785GRMPG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1537312741&sr=8-1&keywords=masterbox+micro+atx

And you might want to look into a rx 580 if you want a lower cost, but, besides that, everything looks good, very similar to my build.

it has a better cooler for higher OC.

the XFX is better than the aorus one.

Don't buy that Biostar motherboard - it only has 2 DIMM slots and no VRM heatsinks. Spend an extra $10-$20 to get a better motherboard.

I'm going to buy a better cooler later on, for now I'll use the wraith cooler.

like others have said, a RX 580 is better value. Also you can save some money by going with a CM masterwatt, as it is still tier 3 on the LIST.

or go down to tier 4 and save 20$.

Your updated parts looks pretty good. I've made some slight changes that you may want to look at.

*Faster 3200MHz RAM for only $5 more

*Less Expensive GPU
