Hey all, I'm currently looking to purchase parts individually and build a desktop for playing games such as bf4, as well as internet surfing, word processing, etc. Is there any way to reduce the cost of the build listed below, using cheaper parts? My budget is roughly $750 hardware only, though my ideal build is slightly above that at $820 CAD. My monitor size is an 23-inch 1920x1080. I'm also aiming to not overclock immediately due to warranty concerns, but likely will in the future after making sure everything is stable or for futureproofing.
I'm also a fan of the nzxt phantom 240's aesthetics
