Unless you're gonna do stuff like
>VMs
>Play games requiring more than 8GB RAM
>Game Server Hosting
or
>80+ tabs in chrome
You shouldn't really need more than 16 GB RAM

Besides the RAM, is everything else pretty good?

hijacking this thread for my own question. what are some mistakes that first time builders make?

>>56212254
-psu with huge wattage
-mismatch cpu MoBo and RAM
-high end gpu for 1080p
->soundcards with no professional

>>56211744
if you're planning to overclock cpu+gpu you will need a better PSU

>>56212424

650w? or higher?

>>56211744
Do you really need an optical drive and can't you just reuse one from a pre-built?

Took everyone's advice and this is where I'm at. Yea/Nay

I don't have one that is blu ray, and I'd like to replace all of my players/consoles/etc with one unit, hence the drive.

using this:outervision.com/power-supply-calculator
on my rig i5-6600k+GIGABYTE 1070, I set worst case scenario+running 24/7 and it recomened 650 80 plus gold check for your self

and also if you're not planning on adding a second 1070 (wich I recommned not doing so even with AMD) get a cheaper Z170
