 Haswell refresh only costs a dollar more. I'm not great at shaving down the price of builds so I'll let someone else do that.

if u could find a copy of windows for a "better deal" that would cut a decent chuink out and also what about going to a nvidia 750 ti? or a 750 their both sub 200$

I'm no expert, but why not for that price go with something like this? It is near that 800$ mark you wanted.

If you could buy Windows from another site not available on PCPartPicker, you could cut the price down a lot.

you can drop the intel cpu, the motherboard, the cooler

 

and lose the mini ITX motherboard size (this add $$$ +_+)

 

and use a "normal" micro ATX motherboard on the build (from AMD)  B)
