This is my build I created using PCPartPicker. I am looking to spend 700-800 dollars on a build and I created this as a noob in PC Gaming. This price is $887.31. I'm not sure what to change to make it within my budget. A bit over 800 dollars is fine. I'm looking to run Arma lll, GTA IV (With Mods) and other games like that. I'm hoping to run these games at 30-40 FPS at decent settings. If you can help, that would be much appreciated. Feel free to leave ANY advice/tips as I'm a complete noob.

The ssd you have is good, i use it myself, but you will get way better performance by getting a better graphics card while an ssd only helps with boot up times and loading things
