This is a build i put together this morning and was wanting some assistants or suggestions. I want a high-end gaming PC, but with how i have it the price is still quite high. I was hoping to cut the price while maintaining optimal performance. I used PCPartPicker to help ensure compatibility and it shows multiple merchants with their current listing prices and updates as it goes

Change the Intel Core i7 6700K to an Intel Core i5 6600K
Get rid of the A-Data Premier Pro SSD, waste of money. Change the 1TB 850 EVO to a SanDisk Ultra II SSD 960GB SSD.
Change the NVIDIA GTX 970 to an AMD RX 480 (this card is launching in a few days and will be $199 and as fast as the 970, if not faster).
The rest looks fine. That should shave about $300 off the price.

Ah I got a second disk for OS reasons, but I can understand that. Didn't know the new video card was coming out so thank you for notifying me about that.

When you get the SSD the 1TB one you can just partition it in two. Honestly getting such a small 32GB SSD is just a waste of time. I'd recommend using the 1TB for everything.
