This is my spec not the best as i was quite new to ordering and i was advise to Get at least 16GB RAM as i mainly use my pc for gaming and was told that the 8GB might be a bit low so thought i would upgrade to the 32GB Corsair vengence 3200MHz (2x16GB)

yea i don't know why i went so cheap on ram bad decision on my part especially as im upgrading after 2 days but my own fault i guess, and no i avoid all the simulator games, but was thinking 32GB just because i can, i don't know whether this is just going to far or its a good idea to future proof a little, ( as with the storage i have already got parts from another build to put in)
