First Build need suggestions

Corsair is normally a reliable brand.

Well so far this is what I have:

SSD: Force Series GT 120GB $115
RAM:Vengeance LP 8GB 2x4G $50
CPU: Intel Core i5-3570K $230
MOBO: ASUS P8Z77-V LGA 1155 $190
CASE: CM Storm Stryker $160
CPU COOLER: CM Hyper 212 EVO $30
GPU: None yet -sigh-
PSU: HX650 650W $120
HDD: WD Caviar Black 1TB $100
Total Price Without GPU=$1000

I'm currently over 100 of what I want :B as I wanted to at least have 200 for a GPU and I only have 100 left now. Anyone have any recommendations as to how to lower the price?

I would personally kick out the SSD, a good GPU is more important. A black WD drive is pretty fast too. You just have to wait a little bit more at start up. You could save some money too on the case. Cases like a Corsair 300r (I personally like that one very much) or a Fractal Arc midi are very good cases.

Change the mobo to MSI Z77 G45 and you have saved yourself 70$.
And get the seasonic M12II,then you have saved 100$ for the GPU

Thats even a better idea!

You can also save another $30 or so by getting a caviar green HDD instead of the black. You've got the SSD so you probably don't need a fast HDD.
