Help cutting costs of gaming pc

[Pirate_Twinkie]

I want to make a new gaming pc so far I've come up with this http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/user/Pirate_Twinkie/saved/Ns7p99 is there anything I could change to cut costs. I'm over my budget of $1000 and don't want to change the video card, case, or fan controller. All parts have to be sold at NCIX Canada.

I would get the Haswell i3 instead of the 6300. Its newer, faster in less multithreaded games, comparable in well multithreaded games, runs cooler.

General Hardware is the best place for a thread like this. You can create a new thread over there or ask mfenn to move this one.

I agree with bonobos andmarcolou about getting a i3 and skipping the an contiller but my budget has increased and I'm willing to spend up to $1200 but would prefer to keep it lower. Anyways what can I improve besides going for a i3?

i3 is a good chip. You will need to spend a little more on the board, as Intel puts a higher price on their chipsets. Something like this would support anything out there, even the "refresh" chips:
