Well, you can save a lot without that expensive keyboard for instance.

Well for one you are going for the older kaby lake platform. Look at 8th generation parts, maybe consider the i5 8400 which is a 6 core to cut about 120 from your price.

Another monitor to consider which is similar to yours and knocks off 20 bucks.

Also, if you went with the i5 8400, I think that it comes with a stock cooler, so you could drop off the cryorig cooler and save about another 40.

This will only cost you $100 more than your build but is lot stronger in performance.

bension :

consider getting yourself a core i5 8400 with asus prime z370 motherboard
go look out for gskill aegis ram as they are a bit under price rather you are making a pc in
a time when the prices of pc components have raised a lot. tell me in which settings you
will be playing games and what type of games.

Well i want to play fortnite, league of legends, but also just want to know that i can run any game at 1080p. Maybe some streaming also

ohiou_grad_2006 · Mar 20, 2018

If you are wanting to stream as well, and are staying at 1080p, I would suggest then to look at a ryzen 6 core or 8 core and a b350 board if you are on a budget.

Their 6 cores and 8 cores have hyperthreading which will help in the multicore performance, especially when you are trying to game and stream etc. I would suggest however, consider waiting a month. I think they are coming out with new Ryzen chips in April
