Ok, so this is for my brother, just wondering where best to shave another $100 off it, what do you guys think. It's mostly for gaming:

cpu: 955 BE
ram: 4GB OCZ DDR3 1600
psu: OCZ 700 modxtream
case: Antec 300
HDD: Seagate 7200.12 750gb
gpu: 5770
DVD: standard burner
mobo: ASUS M4A89TD PRO/USB3

After combos and everything at newegg.com he's still about $100 over, I'm thinking he could downsize the mobo as his best option to save $$$, everything else is relative bare for a gaming rig. I wouldn't really want to go lower than the 5770 for a vid card, GB is dirt cheap so going smaller on hdd isn't saving much. What do you guys think? Mobo downgrade or cpu? What would you recommend?
 
I should have clarified a bit more, my brother is in seattle interning with microsoft. Hence the newegg.com stuff instead of ncix. I'm the price match king at ncix :p
