New PC

So I am an avid gamer and I am looking to buy my first desktop PC for gaming and other stuff. I know some computer mumbo jumbo but I am not that great. So I designed a PC and I was wondering where I could possibly cut corners to make the price go down and where something I added isn't needed or may be useless. Any comments or suggestions are welcomed.

Here it is:
