Hi toms hardwarians i am building this pc for a friend and i am overbudget (as alwais) i was wondering if you could came up with some good idea to come back on track without affecting performance too much

Preferred Website(s) for Parts: ncix.com
Country of Origin: Canada

Note : All those price are CAD and while i plan to order from ncix i do pricematch for where it is the cheapest this is why you may see a difference between those price and those on ncix.
The overall tought process for this build was to have a nice rig that also have room for easy upgrades along the way such as a 2nd 570 without the hassle of having to change anything else (This is why the larger than needed power supply)
I also know i didnt include any HD because we all know what is happening to the HD price atm so ill just deal with that later on, old HD will do for now
