Need to improve on my under $1000 gaming build

thats the link to the parts I wanted to include in my build. I really want to keep the ssd for the OS and I want that case because I want the build to look aesthetically nice. And I want that i7 for gaming, video editing, and multitasking and its not really $319.99, its $229 at microcenter. Anything I can make this build much cheaper?

edit:
thanks for the replies there great. can i get feedback on my mobo?

Here are some changes that will lower the price.

First you don't need a 750w psu even for 2 gtx 660 so get this.
psu - xfx pro650w http://us.ncix.com/products/?sku=59616&vpn=P1650SNLB9&manufacture=XFX&promoid=1306

Get this cooler it costs less and is better look at this test http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/Cooler-Master-Hyper-212-EVO-CPU-Cooler-Review/1407/6

This ram is good and costs less.

-7870s are better for the price
-chose a cheaper set of ram
-used a smaller power supply
-used a cheaper SSD thats just as good
-changed the case. less asthetically pleasing for people who want the bling but is built a heck ton better
