First build, can I trim any fat?

[ElGato]

Hi guys,
Just checking in for some input on a system I'm trying to throw together. First build, will be playing mainly MMO's (GW2, Wildstar, SWTOR). I've put together this: http://pcpartpicker.com/user/ElGato2/saved/K422FT and I'd like some advice. Could I save a few bucks if I tone down on the CPU and MB and still expect steady fps on high(er) settings for most of these games? I'm not familiar with or comfortable with overclocking, just looking for some steady game play. Thanks in advance.

P.S. I'm upgrading from a 2.1ghz AMD cpu and a HD 6700 gpu to give you an idea of what I've been experiencing for recent gameplay, lol

You could remove the SSD drive if you don't care about boot times (or you rarely shut down your computer). That will allow you to invest into a much better GPU (like an R9 270X or GTX 760). That will allow you to run basically every current game at max/very high settings.

I tried tweeking the first build a bit, lowered the CPU and MoBO for a better GPU http://pcpartpicker.com/user/ElGato2/saved/7sBTwP Since I'm not looking to overclock, if I do go with the first build I was also thinking about exchanging the 4670k for a 4590
