Price seems reasonable to me. Maybe I wouldn't go with 16 Gigs of RAM right now, I would go with 8 and then, when it becomes necessary, I would buy another 8.

Thought about this case?

or

just some nice ones to look at for about the same money
or for a very low price,

I like the samsung ssd and it's convenient software,but for not to much more do you have a good ssd with 256gb's of storage,

about $22 more for double the space sounds good to me.

Difficult to say at the moment, but my guess is 1-2 years.

No it won't,the motherboard supports 32gb's of ram which means that you can install up to 8gb's per slot.You could even add another 16gb to that if ever needed.
