It's a little bit more than I want to pay for, so is there a way that I can cut down on my budget? Are some of the parts in my build over-the-top/unnecessary?

Also, about how good is my current build; about what framerate/performance level would i be able to run most modern games at? This is my first time building a computer, so any suggestions, tips, or help is HIGHLY appreciated.
