No problem, I trimmed about $600 off the proposed build and you still get a quality rig:

I don't know if im the only one seeing this but your windows 7 is 475 dollars which is WAY WAY overpriced. You can go get a copy of windows 8 for around 100 dollars.

Your ram could be a tad bit cheaper. Here is something you might like : http://bit.ly/1H6mODR. Also Chain gave some very good advice where you could get a way a better AMD GPU for cheaper. They have been cutting down there GPU prices. For example here is a AMD gpu that may be the same price but is better: http://bit.ly/14w6H3B. It is very good and if you want you could at GPU's that are for less money but i would say the the 285 is the bang for the buck. On the PSU you could get a better one i believe for half of that price. Here is the PSU: http://bit.ly/1qNh47x. I believe that cut down some money i don't know if you want me to give you anymore suggestions but i would wait to see if some people with better knowledge than me suggest for you.
