I'm planning to build my first PC for around 1.5k euros, but I'm okay with spending a little more if needed. While I've built computers for friends and family before, this will be my own setup, as I've been stuck on a gaming laptop for too long. The main uses for this PC will include gaming, studying, and deep learning, so I'd like to make sure I get a GPU with 16 GB of VRAM. Also, I'm not into RGB, so let's skip those flashy components. So far, I'm considering the following parts: 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-6000 RAM, a 2 TB Kingston NV3 M.2 SSD, and a Fractal Pop Air case. By the way, do you think opting for 64 GB (2 x 32 GB) of RAM would be overkill for my needs? Thanks for your help!

For the SSD, I recommend avoiding QLC drives since they’re generally less reliable than TLC ones. Look for a good TLC NVMe SSD to ensure better performance.
Honestly, 64 GB of RAM is usually overkill for most gaming and general use scenarios unless you're doing heavy workloads like 3D rendering or running multiple virtual machines. For gaming and studying, 32 GB should be more than sufficient.
okay, thanks!
Just a heads up about the Fractal Pop Air case—I've had two of them, and the USB-C port on the front is capped off since the cable to connect it to the motherboard isn’t included. If you want to use it, you'll need to buy a separate cable. Check out Fractal's website for the compatible USB-C cable.
Thank you very much!
alright! Any recommendation?
