Please take a look and guide me.

[m gona use this pc for virtual machine practicals in college and later on will install a good sound card as for electronic music production.]

If you going to use lots of virtual machines at the same time you will want as much RAM as you can get if you wish for all of them to work properly.

If you can, grab another stick of 16GB of the exact same brand, model and speed. That way they'll work in dual channel, which is faster. 32GB is pretty overkill for almost any common system, but it's better to buy the kit upfront to prevent any incompatibility later on if you wish to add...

About the GPU question, as long as you don't use any application that requires a strong graphic processing inside those VMs, the integrated will be enough.
