Need to lower the price of my build and recommendations please

[darkcape101]

Ok, so i have this build its $1200 CAD and id like to lower the price down somehow to less than $1000 or maybe $1100. id prefer to keep the r9 390 and maybe the cpu. i looking to play at 1080p 50+ fps on games with high settings.
this is my perfect build but its a little bit over budget Thanks!
I'm open to any suggestion on better parts and such.

That build's good enough... Any modifications for higher quality would result in increased prices, which defeats the reason for your question.

You can probably trim $100 or so.
Most any Z97 M-ATX motherboard will work.
GTX970 is comparable in capability, but needs 75w less power. 500w will do it.
EVGA 750w is tier 3 anyway.

You can buy a perfectly functional case for half, the nzxt 340, but I would not go that way, you really want a case you like.

You did not include an aftermarket cooler.
You want one of some sort if you will overclock the 4690K.
If you will not overclock, a cheaper i5 4690 will be equally good. even a i5-4460.

What kind of games do you play?
sims, strategy and mmo types depend on a single fast master core.
A I3-4170 is very good there.

If your games are fast action shooters, then put more into the graphics card than the cpu.

You could get by with a dual core (with hyperthreading) which would increase cpu time, but still give you 50+fps in all games that rely on the cpu. Also, XFX (and probably all graphics card manufacturers) come with a lifetime warranties so if you could find one used or refurbished that is still under warranty that would be a safe buy while saving about $100. You could also save $20 or so by changing to a WD Blue 7200, which is still a good drive, and then add an M.2 NVMe SSD at another time.
