Hi, this is going to be my first build and I'm wondering if I can cut down the price by $100-$200 without sacrificing too much performance. I will also be buying my parts from the Microcenter located in Cambridge. This rig is mainly for gaming, I plan on overclocking the graphics card and the processor.

You could probably also save some money on the case if you didn't a need a full tower.
The cm haf 922m and the antec df35 are both around $100.
