Built my first PC - Corgi - 02-10-2016
For the past few years ive been running on an HP laptop from the notebook series with win8/win10 on it and it wasnt bad, had a 2.7Ghz processor, had 4gb of ram until i refunded 4gb more and added that to it. Now, i've finally built my own pc, and am still working on it but its at least up and running win10 just great!
Specs:
- Processor
AND FX - 4350 Quad-Core 4.2GHz (upgrading to octa-core soon for gta)
- RAM/Memory
16GB. adding another 16 later
- GPU
Onboard, pretty shit, only 1GB but thats hogged by everything else, buying one soon - large and noticeable for those who cant seem to read T_T
- CPU Cooler
Noctua NH-U12S - fan cooler
- Storage
1 120GB SSD, buying 2TB-3TB HD soon as well, then 250GB or 512GB SSD
- Motherboard
Asus M5A78L-M
Post ur specs and ur opinon below
Credit to @Symadox for encouraging me to finally do this! (I also refunded every single part i have for this PC and will refund every part further)

It looks pretty good. Only why 16GB of ram and you are thinking of adding another 16 GB? Just a tip but I think 32 GB ram is serious overkill, unless you are running multiple VM's at once or if you're doing a lot of RAM consuming tasks but if you ask me, 16 GB should be more than enough for most people, you can better put the money for the other RAM in a new graphics card or a new CPU.

I completely agree with this.
If you're just planning on gaming or rendering, this would be fine. Unless you're Rendering something in Cinema4D, Rendering something in Vegas, running a VM, and playing BF4 without frame drop I suggest just sticking with 16GB. To me, it's serious overkill and a waste of money.

Yeah. Maybe buy a cheap GPU instead of 16gb.

You don't need 32gb ram unless you do serious video editing etc.

16 GB - Very good for play LoL,Aion,Guild Of Wars.
32 GB - Very good for graphism,render, ect...
4 GB - Is basic for all computer
Go buy CPU man"
