I have done the pcpartpicker thing a few different builds. But I haven't ever built my own machine before, so a lot of the numbers are not telling me if they are good at what I am looking to do. Anyway help would be awesome. Here is the link to the one I am thinking about buying. https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Complexsion/saved/yXWFf7

16GB is plenty fine for gaming purposes, especially if you want to use VR in which 8GB is a minimum requirement. But yes I agree. Not sure I would go X99 on this budget though.
I think I would do this:
