    Extra information about desired system: I have put together part of a build from the cheapest places I have found I was just looking for some input on the missing parts of possible please. The last build I have is about 5 years old now and really needs upgrading haha!

    No replies so far so I have managed to put a build together.

    Its a bit over what I wanted to originally spend, so does anyone have any suggestions for changes I could make to reduce the price down maybe £100.

    You could get a cheaper mobo and cheaper case which would save the cash. Id also question the point of 2133 memory as its basically not worth it. Its good for multi gpu builds and the like but not worth the extra over 1600mhz build

    3 easy places to save cash.

    Personally I'd get a decent air cooler which would shave about £40 off your expense, and then follow rollo's advice on the ram and possibly on the case. To me the mobo is fine.

    I have several components of the build which runs very nicely with air cooling
    The enermax case is really cool and would save you a few quid
