[Build Help] My first build. I've chosen great parts, but I am new at this. Help me make this cheaper.

UPDATE:

I took advice from two great posters here ThaMortal and tacoyum6. I appreciate your contributions greatly. This is now the current build. What do you guys think?

original text: This computer will be dual booting ubuntu and windows. It will be used for programming and some high end gaming as well as day to day things. I am new to building computers and I am sure some of these parts are overkill. I do want to keep the SSD, though.

If you were building a solid gaming machine, what parts would you scale back here? Lets say I want to make this cost less than ~$1500.
