Some more ways to cut the price-
Do you need 1TB of memory? If not maybe 500gb or 640gb?
You can probably find some combo processor/motherboard deals for about 220-260 if you look into the AMD Phenom II X3 720 BE or AMD Phenom II X4 940 instead of the 955. I'm not sure how much difference you'll see in performance(but I bet theres somebody on the forums who can tell you)
Instead of the Cooler Master Scout case, you could look into the Antec 300. Would save another $50 or so.
Just some ideas to consider!
EDIT - If you go to the 940 or 720 you can also drop the RAM to DDR2 which would save another $20 or so
