Cutting cost in upcoming build

Over the last few days I've been trying to piece togther a new gaming build that will keep me set for a few years. I'm set of a few pieces, ASRock Extreme6, i5-3750k, 670gtx and a new case (probably HAF XM). It just seems to be getting a little overwhelming. Cost keeps creeping upwards of $1300 when I was hoping to keep it at about $1100. Granted I am including a cooler and an SSD. Trying to piece together combo deals for maximum gain is driving me insane. Should I hold off on things for now or what? Any words of wisdom are welcomed.

Swap the case for something a little cheaper.

Ive thought about it. I like the XM though for the cable management and the looks plus Im seeing it on sale for 130. I just figure why put a 670 in some $50 case. I dont know, guess Im stuck between all out and real world. Thanks for the reply though.

That processor, is it a 3570 or a 3770? there is no 3750

Seen the Corsair Carbide 500R?

212+ coolermaster attach two fans.

Extreme 4 asrock instead.

Look for a cheaper site? You can always drive to microcenter Discounted cpu + -$40 mobo saving $80!@!

8gb ram 1333 or 1600 with respectable timing is more than enough for 1155.

Get a smaller ssd until you can afford a bigger one.

Hd 7870 is creeping to sub $300 region.

Sorry guys it was late last night when I started this. Here's what I've got together so far.

Buying the case and the power supply together gets me an extra $27 off and the processor and mobo are another $12. I was originally going to get a new hard drive as well but Ill use my old one to save some money. Thoughts?

If you need to cut more money you can shave $100 of the motherboard. Get a Gigabyte z77 d3h for $130. it's an excellent motherboard. I can't access your wishlist, i think its linked to your account.

You also don't really need an SSD.

Haha, my bad guys. Thanks for the feedback so far though.

Thanks for the help guys but I got impatient, lol. Got everything but the 670 from newegg because they were out and I got the 670 from amazon. Ended up scrapping the hard drive and SSD to make it work but can add that stuff later. Think I will notice any difference between this new build and my current X2 5600+ dual core/9800gtx+?
