You can certainly cut down on more than a few areas (especially the expensive peripherals - IMO this is the least important part of a build) and get something like this:

you should not use 1.65 volt RAM with a sandy bridge processor .

the HAF 912 is very poor value in NZ . The Antec 300 is $100 cheaper , and the soon to be available Antec 300 two is $75 cheaper
