Need help lowering price.

[eskimopie144]

Hey guys, I'm finally building myself a comp. and having a friend assemble it. I wanted to know if there was anyway I could lower the price on any of these things, without sacraficing too much quality. I'd much rather NOT change my RAM (unless you can find a cheaper 8gb), GPU, or Motherboard. Any advice would really help, and if you think anything would not fit here (like say the PSU was too low), please lemme know! I don't have much experience building computers, since I've used my brother's up until now (I hope this isn't evident), so please don't be too brash!
