So here we've got it down to $907.20 by changing power supply brand, lowering the case from a 500R to a 300R and using PC Part Picker in order to get prices from multiple sites and include various discounts.

Notable changes are:

1) Worse motherboard. Still has USB 3.0, plenty of SATA 2/3 ports, supports Crossfire, z77 chipset etc.
2) Lowered SSD to 64GB. Changed model.
3) Lowered 7870 to 7850. This one also has 2GB VRAM though and MSI's Twin Frozr is good cooling. Should overclock wonderfully. Surprisingly good card for the price.

bitfenix shinobi> 300r, drop the gfx to a 650ti boost and get a cx500 psu

Nice <3
