I originally wanted to keep the price below 250 but as you can see i am at 318 without a case or PSU. If anyone could help me lower the price without much performance loss it would be much appreciated! I plan on overclocking so if anyone knows of a budget case with good cooling - preferably without lighting - that would be great as my room runs a tad warm! Same goes for a budget PSU as well! Thank you!
P.S. Sorry for the long post
