Can I get the same power for cheaper?

Can anyone elaborate on this build, if there's any components I can change for a cheaper price while not sacrificing much of the power?

That CPU will run way to hot on that board , it has a poor thermal design.

Lower the CPU fo a FX 6300, that doesn't get too hot, and you can get a better GPU, a R7 260X for example, the 7770 is a bit outdated and outperformed by newer cards with better price/performance
