Hi, thanks for taking the time to look at this.
Before i get started this is the setup I'm looking at.

Case: Thermaltake VP200A1W2N A41 Black USB3.0 Mid Tower Case without PSU $119
CPU: Intel BX80646I54670 Core i5-4670 3.4GHz 6MB LGA1150 Haswell Boxed CPU $252
Motherboard: Asus H87M-PRO Intel $125
Ram: Corsair Vengeance 8GB Kit(4GBx2) DDR3-2133 CMZ8GX3M2A2133C11B $121
Hard drive: Seagate 3.5" Consetllation CS 1TB ST1000NC000 SATA3 7200RPM 6:B HDD $95
Solid State Drive: Sandisk Ultra Plus SSD SDSSDHP-128G-Q25 128G SATA3 SSD $95
VGA card: GIGABYTE NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770 2GB $429
Network card: TP-Link TL-WN881ND 300Mbps Wireless N PCI-E Adapter $28
Power supply: Coolermaster RS600ACABM3 Thunder 600Watt $79

So my problem is, its over my budget, I'm planning to cut down on the VGA card, and possibly my ram. but i don't know an alternative decision, so i thought you guys might be able to help me cut down on some prices? im going for a gaming PC, with my new PC, i plan to play league of legends, battle field 4, and maybe some other games, nothing hardcore but.
thanks.

Before I tear this apart I have a few questions

  1. ■Do you plan on over clocking?
    ■Is that a must have case?
    ■your motherboard, RAM, GPU are they/do they have to be matching in color?

I changed out some parts, but it doesn't look like you're in the US as your prices are a lot different. How much are you over budget by?

The answers you gave makes this easy to work with.
Here are some of the reason I switched the parts

  • ■Case: The case is one of the most important parts mainly because it's what you see and it controls what you can have and Air flow is need in cases, the Case I picked seems to have nice air flow.
    ■CPU: There isn't much of a difference between the I5-4670 and the I5-4570 they will both last for about the same almost of time.
    ■Motherboard: The motherboard you pick is nice but I wasn't sure how much you were over in your PC price so I cut that abit, there's no performance gain nor lost in this motherboard and if you're not overclocking or SLI it would matter.
    ■RAM: for this just look here.

    ■HDD: Never used a Consetllation before but I do know the Barracudas are great for gaming.
    ■SDD: Samsung has the only SSD I trust but you can change this.
    ■GPU: GPU is the same
    ■Networking card: Same
    ■PSU: 500w Silverstone again cheaper.
