I'll be honest, there isn't worth much saving from that build but the disc drives.
What's your budget, what sort of games do you play, what size monitor do you have/need, and what sort of settings would you like to use? (e.g. maxed out, reasonably high, or just high enough to play the game at all)

In the industry, you have what we'd call a "forklift" upgrade.

Keep the hard driveand optical drive, pitch/sell everything else.

The choices are mostly good, but you don't need a DDR3 board, so you can get this instead to save money:

and the RAM you've chosen isn't very good, I recommend this instead:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145214

You haven't chosen a case or graphics card, which you will need.
These are pretty good:
