Really you filled up a 250gb ssd in 3 days :P no but seriusly this build will be for my sister and i feel like she'll only be playing minecraft and gta v, nothing too demanding. For her monitor it's not going to be 2560x1440 maybe a 1080p monitor. What about the other pc parts, are they good?

32GB is a little overkill tbh for gaming, a 980ti will be fine for 1080p, 4790K is still a great CPU so should be fine tbh

video editing and other workstation related uses but generally 16GB is great for gaming with 8GB being kind of a minimum
