it actually needs to go up about $13  =(
 
you didnt have a cpu cooler selected, which is very much needed
too much PSU for the build, so you can shave some there
1tb is a bit much for a budget build, shave to 500gb there
 
you could go down to a 430 case and save some money there

Maybe I'm confused, I don't see a $13 cooler upgrade. But a $39 high performance choice here will improve your overclock prospects, and if you drop the HDD down to 500gb, you are right back where you started without any painful choices. 500gb is a lot of space, and it's easy to add more at some distant future point. Up to you if you want to save on the other options !ender mentioned. Don't neglect your free game and free t-shirt! I love free.

I'd rather see you go back to some of your less aggressive choices and up your video to a 470. Specifically, you could go back to a 922, drop the HDD to 500gb and you're just about there. You could also do well with the i5 760, if you wanted to save $. That processor, oc'd will perform very well. I do not recomment the P55m, the P55 is a better board for only $29. If it comes down to a choice between the 860 and the GTX 470, go video every time.
