Bring the price down to $500?

Skydog07 · Feb 13, 2015

I picked out all of the parts for my first build, although its quite a bit over budget of $500.
What can I change to bring it closer to $500? I dont plan on changing the cpu or gpu.

I was planning on changing the hard drive to a 500gb, but its only a small price difference.

First, there's no point in having 2400 RAM. Fast RAM will do you barely anything. Next I saw that you had a more expensive case so I brought it does to a NZXT Source 210. If you overclock the GTX 750, it'll preform just like the 750 ti.

Yeah I noticed the case, but wasn't sure what to replace it with. So I might use what you suggested. The ram I chose was faster because I actually had a combo with the psu and it came out $11 cheaper.
