Ok this is my first time trying to build so be gentle.

I was looking for some opinions on my current build that I have priced out. I'm not really on a tight budget but would like to not spend money on anything I dont need.

Gaming - Diablo 2, CS GO, quake live, quake 4, and quake champions. (maybe sometime newer if it comes out)

Not really heavy into comp gaming but would still like the option to get into if a game I like comes out. (dont care about graphics just need max FPS)

Any recommendations on something that I could downgrade/upgrade would be helpful

ok thank you. But you think rest of the setup is good enough? Not in a hurry to buy this thing just trying to figure out parts and ballpark price

The parts are more then enough imo for what you do, not familiar with quake champions but i doubt its going to be demanding.
I replaced what I feel is best while keeping your price in the same ballpark.

The only issue I see is the gpu, this is because you buying a budget card yet expect to be ready for newer titles.
If you really wanna be ready buy a used 1080 or 1080ti.
