I am selling my mbp and want to build a gaming pc i have a list of parts here http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2w5qt

It's a little over what i really want to spend i had another thread back in april that would have performed similarly to this for $800-$900.

Any advice on getting the cost down without sacrificing too much performance would be appreciated.

I got the price down, and you won't lose any performance. Is this good? Or do you want it to cost more like $800 - 900?
