Help on my $1500 rig!

[Darknesss]

Hey this is my going to build rig, but it's a bit over my budget. I'm not complaining that much, but I just like to keep it under.



Motherboard: Asus Sabertooth ($205)

CPU: Intel Core i5 2500K ($220)

CPU Cooler: COOLER MASTER Hyper 212 Plus ($30)

Extra fan for push and pull: Antec TriCool 120mm Fan ($13)

RAM: CORSAIR Vengeance 8GB ($66)

Video Card: MSI R6950 Twin Frozr II O ($580)

Hard Drive: SAMSUNG Spinpoint F3 ($65)

Optical Drive: ASUS 24X OEM DVDRW ($23)

Case: Cooler Master HAF X ($190)

Power Supply: CORSAIR Professional Series Gold AX850 ($175)


Other ideas:
P8P67 EVO for motherboard

2x 560ti or gtx 580 for GPU

Corsair Gaming Series 800, Antec High Current Gamer 900, or Raidmax RX-850AE 850w


Those are my only ways to lower the price. So what do you think?
