Hello and welcome to the LTT forum

 

Get rid of the i7 and get the i5 if all you are doing is gaming. The i7 would only be useful in heavily threaded workloads.

 

Hope this helps :)

Considering your usage type I would suggest getting some more ram. 32 would be ideal. :)

If you plan to game and edit like I've seen you mention then yeah this will be perfect for 1080p and all that other stuff. The future RAM upgrade will definitely come in handy, but if you plan to upgrade anyway I'd say going for a single stick of RAM would be better so you can max out your capacity in the future without having to get rid of the smaller RAM modules but that's up to you. If you can get an SSD of a higher capacity I'd say go for it, I've got the same SSD and really needed to start managing my space after a while.

That's more or less what my plan was I thought I'd be okay with just the 120GB SSD and my hard drive but I definitely plan to buy another SSD sometime soon. Either way it's a great SSD and your rig looks pretty darn good.
