It would help if you could give us a general idea how much you're trying to knock off the cost of this build.

sorry suggestion on ram that's the same but is little bit cheaper or suggestions on motherboards.

I recommend moving to the more recent GTX 570 instead of the older GTX 480, You could get an EVGA card for $300AR - not much more than you anticipate for the 480:

The GTX 570 is on the THG list of best gaming cards at the $325 , although with an honorable mention. They instead recommend the GTX 460 SLI but I would go with the 570 to leave a simple upgrade path later with a second 570.

For the motherboard, I too like the Gigabyte Ultra Durable series. To save money - about $100 - you might consider stepping down to the UD5 - although on this board the second PCIe graphics slot would only function at x8 - but that should still be serviceable since on the Intel standard board both slots only work at x8. Here is a more detailed comparison from Gigabyte (plus there are differences in heat spreaders not relected on the list):
