That's a tight and solid build but these can be stepped down to cut money
1.Motherboard-d\go for a lower cost one since the processor is locked and if you don't worry too much about aesthetics
2.you can swap for a wd blue 1tb hdd,since you use the ssd for quick access and the hdd wont affect perfomace that much
3.Swap for a 760 which will do fine for all games at 1080 currently
4.LASTLY GO FOR AMD!

Cheaper AND better do not go that well together.
Two ideas:

1. Use a smaller M-ATX sized motherboard like this :http://pcpartpicker.com/part/gigabyte-motherboard-gab85...

2. How much storage do you need, and do you need it now?
A 240gb ssd will hold the os and a good number of games. Omit the hard drive, at least initially.
I like Samsung better for quality. The EVO is often on sale :

Hi thanks for that! I would just like to ask what the difference is with the motherboard. are there any differences in performance?

Only difference occurs if you overclock madly which you cant do.

difference in fps in games would be 0-2fps max b/w the highest end mobo and the lowest end mobo

only difference will be in the features that it provide.so cut money on mobo if the features provided on higher end mobo are not a factor for you.
