Building A Computer

LucioSantella1 · Sep 13, 2014

Hey Everyone, I recently was picking parts for a computer I am going to build, until I realized that I went way over my budget of 1200 US dollars. Here is what I have picked http://pcpartpicker.com/p/DNVjRB Can someone please help me lower my price from 1800 to 1200? Just change what I have to other stuff and put the new part list in your answer. Thanks! Also can someone please answer back fast because I am on a tight schedule. I am looking forward to multiple answers so I can compare.

Well, what do you HAVE to have? And what are you using it for?

It doesn't really matter, but I would like to keep windows 8 and the motherboard but if you think I can get a better motherboard for a lower price by all means change it. And I'm using my computer for school, a little bit of gaming but no over clocking, for some other stuff.

Win 8.1 Pro. Not needed, go with regular Win 8.1. $40-$50 saving
Do you need 16GB RAM? Maybe not. Go with 8GB
Do you absolutely need the i7 vs an i5?
A $530 GPU? For what purpose?
