I was initially looking into getting 16 GB for my build, but I am trying to keep it under 1400. I already have the PSU and case, but if the PSU is bad I suppose I could switch it out. I am looking for advice and perhaps some modifications to the list to make it cheaper. As of now I am looking into gaming and CS purposes for this build but I may get into streaming later in the years. I most likely won't do much overclocking, but I would appreciate any information on that subject in case I do decide to push my hardware to extreme lengths. Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.
