I have little experience with building computers but I wanted to try my hand at building one. I went to PCPartPicker and this is what I ended up with:

The parts I chose to put together are probably laughable at best, but I was going off what little experience I have.
I have a few questions:
I was aiming for around the $550 range, as you can see I went over by around $175. Is there any way I can reduce the price without while still being able to use it to play games on medium to high settings?
Is the video card I picked going to be good enough to run newer games at medium to high settings?
Is 8GB of RAM too much?
Is the i5-3350P a good processor? Would it be cheaper to go AMD?
Is the 450W PSU too much? PartPicker estimates the wattage for the system to be 187W.
Thanks in advance.
