how to cut costs on a new build

Hayden Voegtle · Jul 9, 2015

Hello everyone,

I'm getting ready to start a new build in a month or so and I'm wondering what areas I can cut costs in. I want to do sli/crossfire eventually and I already have the cpu and peripherals; with that I'll link the build so far below:

I know that 700 watts won't crossfire a 390 too

thanks for the input and ideas

1) The PSU costs way too much for that quality.
2) Skip the H80i. MUCH too expensive.
3) I would say that the case is expensive, but there isn't any better cases below that price.

Instead of water cooling you could use big air.
My CPU is overclocked using a stock heatsync and fan thanks to my 6 large case fans. Big air cooling can work as well as small liquid cooling solutions and are often much cheaper.

You should be able to find a decent 24" or 25"monitor for under $200

The case is more than I'd spend but I don't know the going rate for micro ATX. Keep in mind normal sized (ATX) cases can typically hold the smaller mATX motherboards as well and may be cheaper due to mass production and so many makes/models available.
