Need Help Choosing Parts
I'm new to building computers and I don't have a very big budget about $700. I was just wondering if someone out there could help me make this build cheaper or if there are any unnecessary parts that I could remove to make it cheaper. https://www.microcenter.com/site/content/custom-pc-builder-intel.aspx?load=3a99a8ca-e17f-4a4a-acb5-06bf0b8240a4

This is $100 over budget but it'll get you in a good position.
Custom Build around that range - https://www.microcenter.com/site/content/custom-pc-builder-amd.aspx?load=019e6e05-b750-4c30-8162-189d5168a311
This is still over budget by $37.93 and doesn't even include the Windows 10 license either.

That is a tough situation in today's DIY PC market but many of us have been there. I agree with @Ian that a prebuilt will give you the best value but will limit it's upgradability so to speak. I would suggest 2 options for you:
1) $650 - https://www.microcenter.com/product/626473/hp-pavilion-gaming-computer - this one is a great option that is under your original budget, before tax, and would allow for upgrades to RAM, graphics card and storage. It even has a current gen CPU.
2) $550 - https://www.microcenter.com/product/625283/acer-aspire-desktop-computer - this option has more storage and RAM but does NOT include a graphics card. In the end you'll be a bit over your original budget but with a better gaming PC. I would suggest pairing it with one of these:
$265 - https://www.microcenter.com/product/627305/asus-radeon-rx-580-dual-overclocked-dual-fan-8gb-gddr5-pcie-30-graphics-card
$250 - https://www.microcenter.com/product/624721/asus-radeon-rx-570-rog-strix-overclocked-dual-fan-8gb-gddr5-pcie-30-graphics-card
$160 - https://www.microcenter.com/product/632714/msi-nvidia-geforce-gtx-1050-ti-overclocked-dual-fan-4gb-gddr5-pcie-30-graphics-card
