I Need To Get The Price Down On This Build

Cosmicsaber · Feb 14, 2016

I need help getting the price down on my build. If that possible at all. The only place I can see being able to cuts some cost is the CPU and I don't know a equivalent to a i5. Im looking to get as close to 700 as possible.

Get a different case that is cheaper, and also you can get windows for $20: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXTqz3Fd28M

Windows for 20 does not sound legit. Go cheaper case, if you need to, maybe go for an r9 380 4gb vs the 380x.

here, the biggest change is going from the r9-380x to the r9-380, however those two cards are almost identical in performance, so you save a chunk of cash without harming performance. I saved you some $$ in a couple of other places too (Case, Power Supply)
