New Gaming Build for a friend.

Wholetpaulin · May 28, 2015

So, I'm putting together a gaming rig for my friend, he's getting everything including peripherals (Build is below). Is there anything we can cut corners on to save on a couple bucks, or any compatibility issues with the tower. The only things I'm not sure about is the motherboard and the power supply. Any suggestions are welcome. He has a soft budget of around $1400 for everything. Thanks in advance.
