[ShadowRaver]

with the help of the nice people from this forum who helped put together this build i was planing on getting.But after talking to a couple of friends they say its super overkill for what i will be doing and i don't need to spend as much as i was planing on. So i figured i come back and ask.

As for what i will be doing with the computer, dual monitors gaming on one while having web browser open on another with a web browser game, YouTube for some music and maybe another 2-3 tabs for chart and maps for the game i m playing. As for other stuff i plan on doing just watching anime and movies and reading manga and light novel. The games i plan on playing are mmorpg like Aura Kingdom,TERA Rising, Rift, Bless, Archeage, blade and soul any thing new in the future on high/ultra settings.

Well, based on your stated needs, you can certainly save some money. If you swapped out the MoBo/Ram/CPU with something in the z97 range you can save $200-300 CAD. Do you want to/plan to over-clock? If not, you can save some more money. Do you really need wireless? You can also save money if you got an uglier, but still functional case. You can also save money by dropping the SSD.

I'd say, the extra money you are paying now does a few things, first - most those parts are high quality "tier one" types of components. So just higher quality right out of the gate. Next, you are future-proofed for awhile. Be it just able to keep up with increasing demands of games you don't know you might be playing in the future, or some sort of hardware you might find yourself sticking in your rig. You also get some quality of life improvements with your rig above, like the wireless card and the SSD.

So yeah, you can save some money, but if you got the budget why not spend it?

The pc seems fine to me, you want a pc to last you as much as possible? Since you can invest that money now i don't see the reason why not to. Its definately not overkill, maybe a little more power than needed but that is probably for now. Unless you plan upgrading in say 2 years then the build is solid. If i could cut down without loosing performance and with today's prices:
