Theyre selling this as a bundle,
If ever i bought the bundle can i change some of the components to boosts the CPU.
For example, i wanna change the SSD amd to Samsung 250GB

And Any suggestions for the parts??
Im thinking about the Ripjaws to make it 32GB is it worthit?

And can this thing run GTA 5 Redux?

Thankyou :)

32GB RAM are unnecessary for gaming. You hardly touch 10GB while multitasking heavily.

It's nice, I'd go with a better PSU.
The GQ isn't best quality and largely overpriced for its quality.
EVGA's good series are the G2, B2, GS & G3

It's a fine build.

Solution
- Good CPU
- Good Mobo
- Good 16gb Ram
- Why this drive? Sasmung EVO is the tried and true favorite
- HGST has had some quality issues so if this is not an old stock of drive I would look elsewhere
- Dont know if this is a good liquid cooler or not. If you are not planing on overclcoking more then 300-400 mhz then a great air cooler is cheaper and beter then a mediocore water cooler (and you dont have the risk of a water leak ruining your day).
- In Win is not a very quality case, seems a shame to put this nice of a build in a cheapo. Phantek, Fractial Design, Corsair, NZXT and Rosewill's above $50 cases
- As stated the GQ serries is not good, almost anything Seasonic is good, the B2/G2 Supernova serries EVGA are good.
 
Sure, 32gb is a little overkill now, but I think it's a good choice. For my builds I try to base hardware off of what I think i'll need in five years. I'm just starting to see games utilize more than 8gb of memory. Who knows what how much that will change in a few years. I'd suggest going with a 1tb solid state drive, but get a 512gb as a bare minimum. Games these days are starting to push 100gb in drive capacity. Again, i'd like to not have to worry about upgrades for 5 years when building a new system.

I agree with switching to a Samsung 250gb SSD. I'd stick with the 2x8gb RAM for now. You can always get a matching pair later on to bump up to 32gb total. G.SKILL Ripjaws V is one of the more popular (and readily available) sets of ram out there.

My suggestion is to perhaps consider upgrading the motherboard to the newer z2xx series boards, plenty of longevity in those babies and only for like $50 (u.s.) more. Also get a Samsung Evo SSD probably the best on the market.
