So I'm new at this and this pc is gonna be the first one I ever get so I don't know much. But can someone take the parts from the pc in the video and change them around a little so it fits my budget. Right now it is priced at just over 1,000 dollars and I'm looking to spend 800$ maybe 850$. But I'd like to keep the graphics card so I can run games at 1440p while maintaining a fast frame rate. And if I keep that, from what a can tell I need to also keep the power supply because the graphics card needs a really strong power supply to keep it running good. So without changing the power supply or the graphics card can you change only the other pieces to make it around 800 dollars. Also the parts are in the description of the video as well so you guys can see them and help figure out what to change. Thanks to who ever helps. Also I need a good keyboard and mouse as well as a monitor that will support the 1440p but I'll pay for those separately with different money. So if you can also link me to them as well I'd be thankful, my preference for were I'd like to get everything is Amazon. Thanks again.

I hate YouTubers that suggest builds like this. People always come across these videos years later and think they're still good so build an out-dated PC. Plus, the majority of the time, they recommend crap. The GTX 970 is a very efficient card, no need for a 600W PSU a decent 450W PSU is more than enough for a single 970. A 600W PSU will be enough to run two 970's in SLI.
For just over $850, you can get this;

The xeon s an 8 thread CPU so beneficial in editing/rendering/streaming/multi-tasking and games that utilize the extra threads such as Crysis and BF.
Or, you could get this;

It's just over $850 after rebates. Instead of the 8 thread Xeon, you get an i5, but it has a better PSU and an SSD.

Thanks for the help. So both builds you made will still Preform just as good? Like I said I don't know much about pc's what parts did you switch around to make it cheaper as well I'm curious. And will it still run games at 1440p with good frame rates.
