The best part to drop without affecting overall game performance would be the SSD. After the game is loaded it serves no purpose in performance, although those quick loading times are very nice. Other than that, I don't think there is anyway to get below $800 without sacrificing some power.

add a ssd later on

If it's only WoW, could always go for a smaller green version of the Western digital drive? You can always add a drive later on. Same with the cooler, could run the stock cooler for now and replace it once you have some extra cash one day? You can get a bit of a overclock with just the stock cooler alone. I would agree with the SSD removal, but after having a SSD myself, the load times especially when jumping in and out of the game... well just feel right now!

Also have you scanned the web to make sure the parts are the cheapest you can get them... I mean literally saving $5 here and there could get you your goal if there's other outlets to get them from!

Not sure where you are located, but try to order from tax free sources (usually outside your home state) and free shipping deals, otherwise that adds to your cost right there.

Yea, I'd just add an SSD later. They're really nice to have, but since they're super easy to install (well you'd probably have to backup and wipe your original drive) I'd not want to skimp out on other parts just because of that.
