    Help me save some money!

    http://pcpartpicker.com/p/8cUK I configured this computer and was wondering if there was anywhere that I could shave some money off the total and still be at about the same performance. Also wondering if the powersupply would be enough to possibly SLI in the future.

    I would go with the ASUS P8Z77-V LK for the newer chipset / better brand. Drop the bluray if you aren't going to use it. Get a 7850 and overclock it to get higher performance (close to GTX 580), use less power, and spend less on the GPU. Drop that amazingly expensive SSD and get something like a Crucial M4 128GB. If you want to skimp on the case, get the NZXT M59. Get a XFX Core Edition PRO750W PSU, as it is better and costs less.

    Skip the cooler, get a retail CPU.
    Skip Blu-Ray
    Skip the SSD. Performance is nice, but not worth $120 to shave a few seconds off load times. It won't increase FPS.

    Thats all about $180 saved.
