I'm building my first PC and I'm not really sure about the prices for the components. I want to keep the same power supply, but I'm questioning if the case I'm looking at is a good deal and whether I really need to include the motherboard in this build. Here's the list of parts I'm considering: [PCPartPicker List](https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/X3MG4p). Any suggestions on how I can lower the overall cost?

Here’s another list I made: [PCPartPicker List](https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/YFb8gn). It has cases with fans included, so you might save on cooling as well. Honestly, the 9600X is close enough in price that it might be worth upgrading to that instead.
Check out this alternative build that should give you better value while maintaining similar specs: [Optimized Build](https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/hmNqzP). It's almost the same but it's more optimized for cost.
I found a nice bundle deal that might save you money: AMD Ryzen 5 7600X CPU with a compatible motherboard and RAM for around $540 total. The rest of the components can be found cheap if you shop around.

thank you
