TOTAL

without shipping 1,249 USD

with shipping 1,351 USD

my shipping code by the way is 00000

and my budget is 1,000 to 1,200 dollars (preferrably the cheaper way)

tigerdirect is expensive but its the only one that i know of that ships directly
 
First suggestion is the RAM, unless you absolutely want Corsair Dominator I'd suggest this kit, same speed and almost $40 cheaper OCZ Reaper Dual Channel 4GB PC8500 DDR2

Next is a motherboard suggestion, if you aren't planing on going more than 2 way Crossfire you can go with this Gigabyte MA790XT-UD4P Motherboard which then requires you go with different RAM but right now DDR3 is cheaper and is slightly faster Corsair Dual Channel 4096MB PC12800 DDR3

Lastly you don't necessarily need the extra side panel fan.

Other than those suggestions to reduce the price any more you would have to start swapping to lower performance parts, but even at that what you have is a good set up considering your also getting a monitor and mouse/keyboard, the later not being optimal for gaming however.
 
Go with an AMD 790X / 790 GX motherboard instead of 790 FX. Should come in about $50 cheaper. Also get a DDR3 based system.

As for the RAM, any good DDR3 kit would cost about $90 - $100 (G.Skill is a good brand).

Swap the case for a Cooler Master CM690.

If you're not going to run a multi GPU configuration in future you could get the Corsair 550VX PSU if it's cheaper.
