Are you shafting me?

That's what I currently came up with not sure if I should readjust anything or if I can fit a AMD CPU into the Bitfenix as I've had the case for a while (forgot to mention I purchased case and it's not included in purchase price)

e// I know I can reduce price by $120 by going down to 8 Gigs and removing one of the hard drives..

Just wondering if I can go cheaper with similar performance for her needs

Is there any revisions to my build to help make it cheaper?
Besides what I mentioned above buying tomorrow just want to make sure I can't squeeze more buck for budget out of this case.

Why don't you go with an AMD mITX build?

I didn't realize that would fit, I have been out of the computer building since I built my PC to be honest, what would be a good CPU/Mobo? I could do the rest.

Went exactly with this build but switched SSD for Kingston and saved $40, as well as $30 from in store deals

Nooo.... :(

The first batch of Kingston SSDs were good, but they started using worse materials, which essentially means their new batches are slower.
