This is the build I have so far. I don't plan on overclocking. Is there any way I could cut down on the price without suffering a huge performance hit? I want to avoid upgrading as much as possible. Thanks

went up 10.00 on the power supply the cx line is the lowest line of cosair. for a gaming rig spending the 10.00 more for a 650w power supply and there tx line will keep the rig for having power issues. the r300 case will fit any cooler and video card out there. if you want red or colored led you can swap the fans latter or add nxzt color led strip for 10.00. to make the inside of the case glow red.
