I am trying to build a gaming PC, but I'm on a budget. I used pcpartpicker.com to put together a list of parts, but it's over my budget. I'd like to keep it around $800.00 or less if possible. Here is the list I put together, but it's around $250.00 over budget:

Intel Core i5-3570 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor
NZXT Respire T40 68.8 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler
MSI Z77A-G43 Gaming ATX LGA1155 Motherboard
G.Skill Ripjaws Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1333 Memory
Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Asus GeForce GTX 660 2GB Video Card
Enermax Hoplite ST ATX Mid Tower Case
Thermaltake SMART 550W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply
LG GH22NS90B DVD/CD Writer
Microsoft Windows 8.1 - OEM (64-bit)
Asus VX238H-W 23.0" Monitor

I'm not dead set on this build, so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
