Cutting cost on my build

[plekter]

I have the following build that costs roughtly 730€. I would really like to cut the cost down a bit somewhere and get it all under 700€ without swapping the CPU, GPU or downgrading memory.

I already thinked about downgrading the HDD to a 500GB one but that would save me only around 20-25€ while sacrificing half of the harddisk's space.


Current setup:
CPU: Intel Core i5 2500k --- 193€
GPU: Gigabyte Nvidia GeForce GTX 560 Ti 1GB --- 201€
MB: Gigabyte GA-Z68P-DS3 --- 85€
RAM: Kingston 8GB(2x4GB) DDR3 1333Mhz --- 44€
PSU: Antec VP550P 550W --- 66€
HDD: Sea Barracuda 7200.12 1TB 7200rpm --- 88€
ROM: LG CD/DVD-RW --- 15€ (rarely used)
+ Some random case for ~40€


Note: The prices are from Estonian e-shops.

Try a Corsair CX 500W PSU
and a Hd 6870 GPU

I'd drop down to the 1333 from the 1600ram as it could void your cpu warranty.

Just realised that and swapped the memory for 1333Mhz one.
