And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: Bought and built a lower - mid range gaming PC 5 yrs ago and it stopped working. Think there is an issue with the drivers. Either way I want to step up and upgrade.
I want to be able to play the majority of games at high to ultra with out lag. Not planning on doing anything outside of personal gaming. Play FPS, MMORP and everything in between. I got the following build from a custom pc website. I was wondering if this is the best way to go, is there any better build that are advised or any pre-built computers that are comparable.

Do I need that big of SSD and Cooler? The site I got the build from says it should play VR and 4k games comfortably.
Or should I go this route. I saw another build by someone else here that doesn't have the bigger SSD and Cooler but has 32GB memory and 1080 video card.
