Here's my build so far: http://puu.sh/3L8LJ.png + http://puu.sh/3L8Qw.png

As you can see, I'm a over my budget by $120.
How can I reduce it to around $1120 without sacrificing much on my CPU/GPU?

Also, is everything compatible? Will it fit inside my case? Thanks
Please keep everything Newegg

If you didn't notice the pictures, the cost is $1220 and he wants to reduce it to $1120.

-Change the gpu to the Gigabyte GTX 770 2gb version.
-Change the psu to a XFX 550w non-modular 80+ bronze.
-Change the motherboard to an ASRock Z87 Extreme6.

still have $30 to go, I did what realchaos said and downgraded to a z87 Extreme6. Luckily there was a combo going on that took about $80 from the total cost.

Anything else I can cut?

If you're running on a single 1080p monitor, the 2gb version of the gpu is good enough. You won't notice a difference with the 4gb vram until you go into higher resolutions.
