Hey guys, I was wondering how I can make this build cheaper? Its way to expensive for what I have atm.
>>
Step 1) don't buy case
Step 2) don't buy aftermarket cooler
Step 3) profit
Alternatively,
Step 1) don't buy ram
Step 2) don't buy GPU
Step 3) kek

I am wondering what changes I can make to make the build cheaper without suffering reliability loss. For example, get a 600W PSU instead of 700. Shit like that
>>
>>51787034
Don't buy skylel
Drop the expensive case you dense retard
Don't buy meme gaymen RAM
Get a R9 380
Get a 450W PSU
Kill yourself

>gtx 960 4gb
for what purpose?

No really, there is no point in a 4gb card with a 128bit bus.

Are you even fucking trying?
1 go amd
2 go fucking amd get a 290x or some shit don't fall for the leaf blower meme
3. No case cases are for pussies
4 that ram could be about cheaper there's an 8 gb kit for 42 shekels on new egg look it up nigger
5 get gud buy on sales
>>
>>51787267
The 380 needs a minimum 550W power supply according to this list I am reading. I will take on your other suggestions though
>>
>>51787282
I am Australian. Needs to be Umart. New egg shit is so much cheaper but I'd have to get it shipped and wait 2 weeks.
>>
>>51787285
Nah m8. That's jsut the shills trying to get more money out of you. I have a more power hungry setup as you posted and the top load I measured was 405W
>>
>>51787295
>13
Yeh righto. I was looking at a 380 but my gay friends said the gtx 960 is better. I will definitely go AMD, cheers.
>>
>>51787267
Well this sky shit is only like $2 more than the 3.5GHZ i5.
>>
>>51787306
>gtx 960 is better
In terms of raw power it is not. The 960 shines in ITX cases (the 380 ITX is terrible).
>>
>>51787326
So should I go 960 or 380?
What ram would you recommend also? I have no clue on all these brands.
>>
>>51787346
If you have a normal setup you should get the 380, though the 960 is not bad, it's just inferior in terms of power.

As for ram, just look what's the cheapest and has decent speeds and such.
>>
>>51787034
Get a cheaper case
go haswell instead of skylake (or amd athlon 860k if all you are doing is games and general use)
get a 500w psu
possibly get a r9 380 instead of 960 (depends on sales)
>>
>>51787306
>>51787346
380, do it. Pic related is the Price/Performance chart I have from a reliable site and my go to palce for reviews. Vertical is performance, horizontal is price. As you can see the R9 380 performs better, while being cheaper. I hope it's the same with your kangaroo dollar prices.

You save on the mobo

Do you guys know of any good cases?
I have googled it and all the ones they recommend me are corsair and thermal take
>>
>>51787376
Unfortunately the 380 and 960 almost are identical in price.
>>
>$80 case
>Buying extra fans
>700w psu for a skylake cpu and 960
>1TB hard drive

With a tiny build like that you really won't be able to run Brad new triple A games. And if you're on such a small budget that you are buying 8gb ram and 960 then you obviously can't afford new goes very often.

PC was - never - about being cheaper, just more powerful. Even though we can technically build more power for cheap if you know where to go.

Anyways. Find a case on Craigslist for 5$. Don't buy extra led meme fans, don't buy a 700w psu and honestly you could probably find a mobo for 80$. You don't have the money for after market cooling so you won't be over locking anyways. But now that I double take it doesn't look like your processor comes with a cooler so you'll need one of those. Also nice no optical drive you pleb.
>>
>>51787254
That's a meme, right?
>>
Get cheaper case (shouldn't be hard), don't need case fan tbqh unless you want a riced pc, but then you'd need more budget. Buy valueram. Buy cheaper psu from antec or some other semi-popular company. Buy msi pc mate motherboard with specs you need.
And you can always buy a used gpu that will outperform a 960. Try to find a used 780. You forgot windows btw, will cost you another 100 shekels, unless you can get a hdd/ssd with windows on it and find the product key just in case you ever need it.
>>
>>51787267
As the way the prices look I'm assuming he's from Canada. Amd is more expensive in Canada. There's no fucking point to amd in Canada.
>>
>>51787422
corsair or nzxt. s340 looks decent.
>>
If you want one off cheap shit OP get a 450 watt, r9 270/x and an 8320. If you want to be able to upgrade and have it last 5+ years get the 6500 and a h or z 170 board, 3000mhz ram, 700w psu, wd blue.
>>
>>51788150
no it's not a meme
it's just a fucking picture with bad /v/ jokes
google the definition of meme you 9faggot

>>51787034
all the parts are fucking expensive
get each part separately and don't fucking buy a >100$ WD what the fuck get some cheap ass 50$ 1tb shit drive and be happy with it
same goes for case, cooler, power supply and motherboard

just make sure the parts fit for the motherboard and don't go too cheap on the power supply, it doesn't have to be handcrafted by a german but it doesn't have to be stolen from a truck in south-africa either

also, go back to /v/
>>
>>51787034
Buy 20$ case it's the same shit it's just cosmetics and cable managment
Don't need all these after market coolers
Less fancy RAM rams all the same really.
Why the fuck do you need a 1 TB HDD?
Pick a shitty CPU and a 970
>>

If you want cheap, buy used parts. Make sure there's still warranty on them.
Don't go for skylake, get a Haswell i5, you'll save money on the motherboard.
Also you don't need a 700w PSU for this build, 500 will do just fine.
>>
Don't get Sickleflow, they're incredibly noisey.
>>
i3 4170
sapphire nitro dual-x OC r9 380X
Asus H81M plus
kingston 2x4gb 1866mhz ddr3
samsung 850 evo 120 gb
seagate barracuda 1 tb
seasonic s12ii 520W
cooler master silencio 352

gud?
>>
>>51787422
Get the Silverstone ML08B HTPC Case. That way you can use normal GPUs up to 13 inches long and don't need to shell out more for some weird ITX form factor GPU, while still getting the slim ITX design
