Could have gone even cheaper with the same redblack design , but that would have resulted in a mismatch in case and mobo size . The cheapest mobos are h 110 s in the micro atx size , and I felt you wanted to keep your redblack s 340 . Changed ram to a bit cheaper pair , still 16 gb , performance should be the sameFound a bit more storage of an ssd and more capaicty for cheaperSwapped your gpu from a 970 to a rx 480 , matches color themes , costs cheaper , and according to this benchmark is better GTX 970 vsAMDRX 4802577 vs 3634 Swapped PSU for a slightly cheaper one that is the go to gold standard from here . The crown jewel of this was the monitor . Slipped in a 1080 p 144 hz 1 ms gaming monitor with freesync . Runs perfectly with your rx 480 , and should be slaughtering anything you throw at her . Costs a little more than $ 100 over your budget , but i slipped in a monitor with it . Could drop down to an rx 470 for it to be a bit cheaper
