$129.99

EVGA 02G-P4-2678-KR GeForce GTX 670 FTW 2GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card
$419.99 and a $10 rebate makes the final price $409.99

SeaSonic M12II 650 SS-650AM 650W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Modular Active PFC Semi-modular Power Supply
$119.99

Changing these three components will cut $230 off the initial cost and bring you down under $1300.
The video card does not need to be a GTX 680 since the 670 is benching close to it in many games and the lower price makes it easier to add a second later on if you wanted to.
The motherboard has two slots that are x8 and will run two 670's if you choose to do that.
The power supply is also a good choice to reduce the price and will also run two 670's.
