$220 - Intel Core i5-2500K CPU
$145 - MSI P67A-GD55 Intel P67 ATX Motherboard
$163 - Corsair 850TX V2 850W PSU + Corsair Vengence CML8GX3M2A1600C9B 2 x 4GB DDRR3 1600 RAM Combo

Question:
How much cheaper do you think it could get if I don't go for SLI needs?

Probably around $60.

$28 - Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus HSF for LGA 1366 and LGA 1156 recommended either way?

If you live in a hot place or don't much cooling in the area, then get the HSF. Otherwise, no need for the 3rd party HS
 
IF you are prepared to cut out both SLI and overclocking you can save quite a chunk of money by using a non-k model CPU and a H67 board.
