Hi,
im building my first pc.
I need some help on cutting down the price of my pc, it currently costs 2,000 and can probably play most games - 1080p - max - 40fps.
I am aiming to stay about 30fps on ultra, 1080p at the cost of 1,500 (including monitor)

Intel core i7-4770K
Corsair H100i CFM liquid
Asus Maximus VI hero ATX
G.Skill Ripjaws X series 8GB (2x4)DDR3
Samsung 840EVO 120GB
Seagate Barracuda 2TB 7200RPM
EVGA GeForce GTX 780 3gb
Fractal Define R4 windowed
Corsair 850W ATX Power Supply
Corsair AF120 Blue x4

Summary: just make it cheaper!

Thanks

get an i5 4670k, i7 isn't needed for gaming.

Cut cooling down to a noctua nhd14 or phantek.

That mobo is unnecessary, any $120 asus or gigabyte will do everything you need.

Get a hitachi 2tb drive, the barracuda sucks.

Corsair has quality cases at cheaper prices.

850W PSU is overkill unless you will SLI later, otherwise 650-700 is all you need for the build.

Case fans are most likely not needed, at least for now.
