Any way to make this build cheaper without too much of a performance drop?

well, you can.... if you dont pick specific black-red items

better mobo for OC
--you can add 212 EVO cooler later
better ram 1600 CL8
cheaper hdd, case, psu (1 GPU only need 550W)

Are you trying to get it under any magic number? I'd dump the fans for a start. Add them later when you have the $$$ again. Might want to look at a cheaper case as well. Otherwise the only thing that really jumped out at me was the 650W gold PSU. That's a good price for it, but perhaps you can shave another 10 off by going with something with a bit less wattage. You'd probably need to step down to 80bronze for anything cheaper though.

I'm trying to get it under £725, I'm kind of in love with the nzxt h440 so I don't really want to change that, I'm also trying to get all my components to be either black or red. I've dropped the fans and that puts me on £734 (including shipping for the case)

I work in an electronics store and one thing I can tell you whenever doing a custom build, buy the best parts you can afford otherwise you will regret it. I have customers return all the time saying the wish they would of spent the extra money. That will be a very solid build you will be happy. ENJOY!

I think he already removed all the fans. I'd still switch to another case. There has to be something in the £50-75 range that you like. That will get it under 725 and not effect performance at all. You can save ~£7 if you get from AMD Radeon's build his Hdd and GPU.

Problem is he's already picked out a gold unit. I'm on a bit of gold kick right now. They are finally coming into a "normal" price range where just about anyone can get one. Why spend $45 on a bronze when you can spend $60 on a gold? That's $15 (or is that £15?) well spent.
