so i decided to move away from consoles and make myself a gaming pc i did some research and came up with this build right at my 1000 dollar limit (including peripherals) is there anywhere i can save money or anything i should change?

Get 2 sticks of RAM. Your motherboard supports dual channel memory. 2x4GB will make your system run a lot faster.

Whatever you do, don't skimp out on the power supply, because if your building a gaming rig you'll need some stable power to run the graphics card when playing games.

You can save a lot of your money on peripherals like keyboards and mice, even the computer case itself, but don't get a case thats super cheap, because it's nice to have a case that's not made out of cardboard.
