I know none of you probably want to help, but I'm building a PC. Trying to keep the budget under a thousand dollars but keeping my GPU performance relatively high is probably my biggest concern. Right now I have a build that's over a thousand but seems to fit very well otherwise, I was wondering if you guys had any suggestions to cut back on the cost. The build is [url=http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2d9Wk]here[/url] (hopefully the link works)
Any suggestions?
EDIT: Please note that I already have a monitor, mouse pad, and mouse.
EDIT: Fixed the RAM, should run at an appropriate voltage.
EDIT: Fixed up my build, cut about $200 off :D
EDIT: TopWargamer has provided a good build [url=http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2d8KG]here[/url]. It looks good but I'm probably leaning towards a modular PSU to help with cable management.

Optical drives are basically useless at this point, if you have another computer, you could boot up, and install windows onto your new hard drive with that one, and save money on that. Or you could just as easily find an ISO file and boot it up from a flash drive, or external HDD, and only need a copy of windows for the activation key.
