    Critique my computer build

    I'm building a computer but would like to cut down the price as much as possible without sacraficing much performance. Please let me know if I can get away with going with anything cheaper here. I definitely want to keep the processor, video card, and case, but besides that anything else can be manipulated. I'm going for a gaming setup and will be playing on a 1920 x 1080 monitor.

    Drop the PSU and buy a Seasonic 550 watt. You'll be glad in the long run, it's a better PSU.
