Hi guys, I'm still not done with my building, and these days I finally had some time to investigate and learn something more about parts. Again, this is my first build and I have a few more questions....
I tried to find the parts MeteorsRaining suggested in my country but not all of them are available. So I replaced them and also changed some of them and build this:

The question is how can I reduce the total amount for about 100-200$? I dont know which part will affect more the build's performance, can you help me? I now understand that I have to OC the memory to get 2400 MHz.
I'm also not sure about the Radeon R9 280x, I've found several tests that Geforce GTX 770 is slightly better? :/
