Then drop to a $50 case for now and buy the hard drive. But I wouldn't sacrifice the 256GB SSD. I'd cheap on the power supply before the SSD.

I would suggest not getting neither AMD or Nvidia new generations for the time being, for two reasons, first we don't know all the issues with these new generations and the manufacturers like Evga, Sapphire,...etc will likely release better versions in the future of these new cards. Second reason is that you can get the previous generation from AMD/Nvidia at a much cheaper prices than before along with the best possible editions ever released from the manufacturers.

- I choose an Asus H170 with USB C and higher end components for reliability.
- For the case I upped to a Fractal Define S which I love for interior space, quality, and price. You can always drop to a regular case and save some cash.
- Picked a 250GB SSD M.2 to get the system built. I recommend 250GB minimum. A storage drive can be added if required or just up to a 512GB SSD for now.
- 550W power supply should do the system fine. I picked a basic QUALITY drive with the EVGA G2. You can drop this a bit and save some cash if desired or find a deal on an equivalent quality from another brand such as Seasonic, Antec, XFX, etc...
- I speced an RX480 but no price.

This system will be around the $800 budget with the nice case, power supply, and better SSD. We need more info on your needs though before fine tuning to your needs and budget.

With the Define S you need an external burner. You can spend the budget on the better SSD and add storage at a later date or even an external hard drive. If you really need to chop the budget then I guess the first thing I'd look at is the case. Zalman makes some nice fully loaded cases for a good price.
