I've tried to kept the price low, the CPU cooler can be upgraded later as this build won't likely ever be overclocked significantly.

Don't see the point in using socket 2011 for this, just drives the cost up.
Memory is unavailable, you'll have to look at that again (though it won't effect the price much).
PSU is a bit questionable. It's good enough value if you need that much power in a lower priced build, but its neither of those things.

No need for an i7. An i5 is fine for games.
Added a SSD.
Better quality case.
This version of the 780 ti has a better cooling solution.
Better quality psu.
