This is the build I have ready, and I really want to save some more money, so if anyone could save me some money somewhere that would be great. The only things I want to keep is the 770 and the Switch 810. Thank you.

You could easily save about $100 by going with an mATX board and the 350D. I know that you want to keep the Switch 810 but in my opinion the 350D also looks better.

 

You may also want to check out NCIX, the CX600 is cheaper there.

990FX Chipset the "newest one"

Lil older chipset, but won't greatly impact performance.

If you're just gaming, a 7950 would do. Otherwise, stick with nvidia. The z77a-G45 non gaming motherboard should be cheaper and you won't really lose performance.

How does this look now? BTW is the 350D easy to move around? I won't be moving it all the time but when I do I don't want to be so hard it's not worth it.

The 350D is an micro atx case. It should be pretty small and light. I have no trouble with moving a mid atx case unlike my full atx tower so a micro atx should be much easier.
