You can dump the case fan prolly. It is always nice to have extra air moving around but i think your cpu and gpu and psu fans will be sufficient.

There's very little, if anything, that could be done to bring the price down substantially.

What is your goal price?

You should check and make sure that memory will work with that motherboard says its only rated for ddr4-2133 doesn't always matter but when it does it won't get video.

the Pentium G4560 is nearly identical performance to the i3-6100.

swapped in aB250 Mobo, less expensive dual channel ram. cheaper case, cheaper HDD, cheaper video card. saved enough to add an M2 SSD,and still cut almost $70 off your price.

you know if the Pentium can run battle field?

This is even cheaper than Screwy's, but you might need a BIOS update to run kaby lake CPU's.
You can go with a B250(will add a bit to the price), as there is no H210 chipset.
Removed fan, swapped GPU for less expensive one, G4560 is same as i3-6100, added dual channel RAM, cheaper case, cheaper motherboard, cheaper HDD. Don't worry about the cheaper components, everything will work the same.
I am pretty sure that Pentium can run Battle Field, because it performs almost the same as i3-6100. It's not a normal pentium, it's hyperthreaded, same as the i3, it has 2 threads for each core.
Cut $200 from the price.
