TOTAL COST SO FAR = $888. est $50 in misc stuff like shipping and thermal paste etc.
Also wanting these accessories:
Cyborg Keyboard - Amazon $67

ideally i would like to cut costs to be able to get these 3 accessories in my budget lol, so the goal here is to be able to maintain the closest possible to the current performance levels of this build, yet cut as much of the $305 in costs approximately as i can.
P.S. I will be using this pc for EVERYTHING! from elderscrolls online and WOW, to COD and BF3. also will be doing school stuff on it as well as normal browsing. ofc i wanna play all of these games at max settings! please lend your advice on any and every part, including accessories!! i will respond to it all! much appreciated!
