Hi,

Attached is a gaming build I am going to build, however due to financial reasons I have to try to reduce the price. So I was wondering what I could change to make this build cheaper but still perform relatively good for gaming. What I was thinking was getting a not as good graphics card but I am not sure what to get so any suggestions would be highly appreciated!

This is the build I am trying to cut down the price for:

Thanks for your time!

Not much to change here. You could sacrifice a little case quality and save about $20.

GPU wise, not much to do that would be roughly equivalent in performance. An R9-290 maybe. GTX970 is best performance for the money at the moment, but very hard to find one available.

is there any other GPU that will be able to handle most games on a high setting, say maybe a GTX760 or something?

What resolution are you looking to play at?

ncix.com has a couple R9 280X's on special this week for <$250 with rebates that would do well at 1080P.

I'd suggest:
280X@ $230 - http://www.ncix.com/detail/xfx-radeon-hd-r9-280x-ff-91053-1246.htm
280X@ $240 - http://www.ncix.com/detail/diamond-radeon-r9-280x-1000mhz-71-102304-1246.htm
