I'm building my first PC and want it to last for several years, but my current parts list is over my $1,800 AUD budget. I'm aiming for an all-white setup, although some of the components I chose may not be available in white. I have very limited experience with electronics, so I'd appreciate help identifying where I can reduce the cost without hurting performance. I also updated the list to make it cheaper, but I'm concerned that the revised parts may not be compatible or provide good performance.

One possible way to save money is choosing a tray version of the CPU instead of the boxed retail version. Tray CPUs are often cheaper and usually work the same, but they may come with different warranty terms and won’t include the retail packaging or a stock cooler. Check the seller’s warranty before buying.
