Hi all,

I've been asked to come up with a build by my boyfriend with a budget of £500-600. This is what I've come up with:

Corsair Carbide 100R £44 
Intel Core i3 6100 £109
Nvidia GTX 1080 3gb £190
ASRock ATX DDR3 LGA 1150 Motherboards FATAL1TY H97 KILLER £117
Silicon Power S55 480gb £100
HyperX FURY Series 8GB DDR3 1866MHz CL10 DIMM RAM £47
Seasonic G550 550W PSU £87

but this adds up to £694 and I'm not sure where the best place to save is. Any ideas?

He's using it for games but probably nothing too taxing.

The SSD is for the operating system only everything else should be redirected to the regular hard drive.
