hey folks,

So I recently was looking for a new rig and was wondering if these specs were good:
CPU: i7-8700K
GPU: GTX 1070
RAM: 32 GB
HDD: 1 TB
SSD: 256GB
PSU: TX 950

Hope you got liquid cooling for your CPU. GTZ 1070 is good. DDR4 ram correct? Is your 1TB HDD a standard HDD or a SSHD? I have a 525GB SSD which I prefer because if you install your OS on your SSD the space will fill quickly.

They look decent, personally i would prefer 2tb hdd cause i find i never have enough storage space.

I don't have as much of a beefed processor but very very similar specs. Not sure how the 8700K holds as far as temps go but i hope it's working well!

32 GB is too much. The most you really need is 16. The minimum you need is 8GB other than that everything else is great.

A nice rig indeed, when it comes to building a PC it should be based off of your own preference. If you want 30GB of RAM then go for it dude. You have a good ass rig.

RAM is pretty overkill, I'd swap the drive with a m.2

CPU: i7-8700K - Great
GPU: GTX 1070 - Great
RAM: 32 GB - Overkill
HDD: 1 TB - Great
SSD: 256GB - Great
PSU: TX 950 - Great

The only problem with your rig is the amount of ram. You have too much ram. You only need 8 GB. 16 is the maximum you should have.
