You only need 8 GB of RAM for gaming and a hard drive large enough for your stuff...

Basically your entire list of parts is unnecessary for gaming and will give you worse performance.

You need to go back to the drawing board and ask for help picking out parts.

You can get twice as much performance for half the price by adding a graphics card, using 8GB of RAM, getting a Haswell CPU instead of socket 2011 and using a Seagate 4tb drive( or even a WD Blue).

I'm that guy with the GPD Win.

Most games don't use more than 6GB. Seeing that is very uncommon. Unless you're doing video editing or lots of multitasking (especially when playing games) more than 12GB is overkill. 32GB of RAM, if you're using the computer for just playing games is way overkill, unless you're doing tons of multitasking.

 

I actually had a friend tell me that 32GB of RAM was going to be the minimum requirement of Battlefield 4 before it was released. I had wanted to ask him if he was high or not.

I have no signature. There is nothing to see here. Move along.
