Hi I've been recently advised about this set up for my first budget gaming build however it is a little too expensive and I'm short on cash. Does anyone know how to save money on this build with as little disruption to performance? Thanks in advance. Also I wonder if anyone can recommend a wifi adapter?

case=CiT Vantage Mesh Gaming Case with 4 Fans(£36)
CPU=AMD fx 6300 (£82)
psu=corsair builder 500w(£42)
Hdd=wd blue 1TB (£43)
GPU= sapphire Radeon hd7870 2GB (£129.90)
Optical Drive= samsung 24x retail sata dvd writer(£17.50)
Memory=Integral ddr3 8gb(£50)
Motherboard=Asus M5A97 LE R2.0 (£54.64)
total=£428

I would use an i3 4130 and an asus h87 plus bourd, which wouldnt be any cheaper but would have better minimum frame rates. The xfx 450 watt pro is better made than the corsair and cheaper.
You would have to shop about for the processor, it is £82 in some places and £95 (too much) in others.
yOU COULD USE AN H81 Plus but less features.

Would 450w be enough for the build ive chosen?
