Will add an 8 gb soon but this is the parts going into it.
 
You need to tell a few things:
DO you already have any of these things or are you planing to build from ground up?
What is your budget?

This PC looks like a Frankenstein atempt... Dont get me wrong, if you already have the most parts it is not bad, but buying this pc new would be a waste of money and performance :D

What do you wanna buy/need?

The first 8 gb vengeance stick shipped and coming this week

The motherboard which because I had an Amazon gift balance was free (Just like when I did my "Holiday build" from 9 years ago where it was a Best Buy gift card)
