I've been reading 16 is overkill, but I don't want anything to slow my build down. It's going to be doing some video editing and uploading as well live streaming (once I figure out how to do it and get the right idea). But I realised if I changed the spec to 8GB I could save some money and up the Wireless card to a better one and maybe double storage capacity to 2TB and save about £23 and it would come in cheaper than the Intel build I'd picked out. It's an AMD build if you haven't guessed :)

It would still come out cheaper than the premium Intel build without halving the RAM to match the Intel build. Although the i5 build packs 2TB storage, no wireless (but easily added cheap) and 8GB RAM and is about £100 cheaper

8 GB of ram should be fine for what you are doing. also if you ever felt like you need more ram you can add some in later. just get the same brand and model. i would go with the 8 GB of Ram and then get the Intel build, you will get a better computer using Intel
