went with the larger power supply so you could sli or crossfire down the road. there no gpu in the build as nvidia in a few weeks is dropping there newer gpus. intill they drop and or the nda is lifted. i would wait on the gpu. you can remove the ssd if you want and go with a smaller one tb hard drive. a reg dvd drive would be 20.00 if you did not want the blueray drive.

Refer This:

from this you can cut off few bucks on the part by taking out extra configuration such as:
You can reduce the size of HDD from 2TB to 1TB.
If not overclocking then reduce the cost of heat sink and after market cooler.
can reduce the cost on case. and then spend on LED monitor
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236100 for $136.
can reduce the cost of the Graphics Card. instead of 2 Graphics Card you can purchase one as u wont be doing SLI or Crossfire.
