I was wondering if this was a good build or not. Its for just a work station and a little bit of gaming
I would like to cut the price down a little bit more but don't know what the best things to spend less money are

Your processor is only 65 watts, I don't really think you need to liquid cool it. I would go with something like the Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo for $30. I also think that you would be fine with a 650 watt PSU like the Cooler Master GXII 650w for $80 (includes the five year warranty). Other than that, it looks good. All your parts look compatible and you shouldn't have any major problems with your build.

You could save $50-60 on your case, too.

Since I'm not going to be doing heavy gaming would this be a good enough graphics cardhttp://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125809

That graphics card will be fine as long as you're not playing tessellation-heavy games at extremely high settings. And RonRave is right, you could save on your case as well. Try a case like the NZXT Guardian 921 RB (your choice of red or blue) in the link here https://www.nzxt.com/products/guardian-921rb-red.

Having an aftermarket cooler for a locked processor simply is not necessary. And the Cryorig H5 is a much better purchase than a 212 Evo is these days. Also - avoid that PSU choice like the plague - one of the worst you could possibly purchase. Also CPU wattage output has nothing to do with processor temperatures.

Then I'm curious as to what you're spending this kind of cash on a build for? You could probably spend about 1/2 that and get something that will suit your needs just fine.
