Sacrifices to Make in order to Get a Better GPU?

Hi, I am building a gaming PC at the moment and have my eyes on the Radeon R9 280X for the GPU. Unfortunately, it is just a little outside my budget and I was wondering in what other areas of my build I could cut down the price of certain components in order to free up a little money.

Simply (because the above is unclear), are there any areas within a gaming build which aren't as important and don't need as much money spent on them?

P.S The core of my build is an i5 4690 CPU with a ASUS - Z97-A motherboard and a Cooler Master - RS700 power supply.

Thanks in advance (sorry if it didn't make much sense):D

Ah ok thanks, but I didn't forget the 'k' I meant i5 4690 because I'm not intending on overclocking my system.
