OK internet - I could use your help. I'm building a new streaming PC. Anyone see obvious places to cut some fat off of this build? It's a little pricey for me right now. Will consult other sources as well, of course. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/2HYBTC

Really cheap cases are absolutely fine in most cases. You could cut back in HDD memory unless you really need all 4TB, 1TB ones can come a lot cheaper 2nd hand monitors are also really good for 2nd/3rd screens Double check your CPU doesn't already come with a cooler

Also, don't skimp out on your power supply, that thing will try everything in your 2 grand PC if you don't get a good one. Idk that specific power supply, might be fine, the price just puts me on edge!

Perfect. Thank you for the recommendations - you're right, skimping on PSU is irresponsible. :) Gonna keep the 4TB of storage, as I will need it.

Nice Check Facebook marketplace or eBay, see if there's any 24" monitors going. There's usually a lot of technophobia out there that have no clue the value of some of the stuff they have. You can get some big savings there and some up to date gear. No guarantees, but worth a look

I'm not on Facebook, but ebay is a good bet. I will definitely keep my eyes open in the next few days before I pull the trigger. Great suggestion.
