Hello, I am relatively new to PC building and would like to know if this is possible?
I have configured a pc at cyberpower.com and would like to know if it is possible to construct the exact same build myself for less?

Yeah, for whatever reason they're charging you for a Z87 board with alocked CPU lol H81 is fine for most, so that would work. And yeah, a cheaper wifi card would work, just stick to ASUS/TP-Link.
