Hello there! I'm a newb currently using an i5-2320 with a crappy Radeon 6770 HD video card. This allows me to barely scrape by playing ARK, but I'd like to be able to play that game and others more comfortably.
I am NOT a max gamer. I usually prefer to run things at low or medium settings and don't notice high or ultra settings, so a computer capable of running future games at low settings is fine by me.
I've never built a computer before. I've only bought them, but I'd like to try by customizing this list of parts I put together:

Is it too good for my needs? What can be cut or adjusted? The price right now is 980 with no sales included, but I'd like to bring that figure, if at all possible, down to the 700-800 range. Keep in mind I know very little about the specifics of a computer, so any explanations, advice, and just general tips would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks so much for your time.
Edit: Also, I'm iffy about overclocking but if it's safe and provides a better boost to performance than what I have, feel free to suggest a combination befitting it. (I say safe because in my last computer, my power supply died a lot...)
