Hi! This is my first time attempting to custom build a PC. I've been a mac user for years so I'm a little nooby at this sort of stuff. I'm trying to switch to windows, so I have a lot of questions about all the aspects of building a PC!
Firstly, is this a little overkill for light to moderate gaming? I feel like it is, looks very expensive from other builds I've seen. And people have told me it's way too much.

Secondly, would there be any ways to cut down on prices? (good components but cheaper, removing the SSD? etc.). The overall total isn't exactly what I'd like pay D:
I'm just going to say why I believe I should buy these parts, feel free to say otherwise!
Lastly, are these parts able to work well together? I've heard that if I don't want my games to stutter, all of my parts need to be about equal in performance.
So yeah, I think that's the main questions I need answered!
Thank you very much to anyone who tries to help me
it really means a lot!!
Thanks,
Ventrix
