You are at about the limit for shaving, I can only see it coming off your GPU or maybe the MOBO, you could go for a non-z77 chipset but thats kind of a bummer for your CPU. You could maybe go a little lower on the PSU but to stay with a quality maker it will probably not save you much, you are at about the low-end limit of that build, you could try and wait for some holiday deals.

Pretty much you could try to find a cheaper z77 mobo and/or psu to get the extra $26 off. Or find a cheaper 670, as I know there are cheaper 670's out there (which since your asking I assume you don't want to do).
