1) Take out Sharpshooters in all but the Heavy Weapons Squads. Hell, take it out all-together. You don't have the points for it, obviously.
2) Take out the Kroot
3) Take out the Ratlings or Ogryns
4) Cut down or take out the Sentinels and use the extra points to buy more Infantry
5) Take out one, two, or three of the Heavy Weapons Support squads.
The more points you can take out to buy more infantry, the better. And I don't mean heavy weapons infantry, I mean Infantry Infantry.
6) I would say the tanks are fine, except the Hull LasCannons on the Battle Tanks are probably not worth the extra 10 points for them over the Heavy Bolter. You're going to be firing the Battle Cannon anyways, and the LasCannon has a horrible miss chance.

While you're at it, DON'T EVER POST SPECIFIC POINTS COSTS AGAIN! It is against GW copyright laws to do so and we could get in trouble for it. Points costs for whole squads is fine. But specific upgrades (Such as the Ogryn Bone'ead) are not allowed.
I have (Or, if you're quick on the draw, am currently) edited your post to remove ALL points costs as I'm not in the mood to set it up correctly. That is your job as a proper poster, after all.
Simple way: Don't jus copy/paste from Army Builder, gah....
