    Going to upgrade my PC in about 2 months - taking suggestions

    So I'm currently still in the US but moving back home in 2 months. Looking to upgrade my pc when I'm back home.

    Current specs are

    Tower: Cooler Master HAF X
    Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3 rev4
    CPU: AMD FX-8350
    GPU: MSI GTX 970
    RAM: 16GB at 1600 MHz
    Storage: 1x OCZ SSD 60GB, 1x Western Digital HDD 1 TB
    PSU: Cooler Master Silent Pro M 850W
    --------------------------
    What I'd like to change:
    Tower: Going to get a tower with a bigger sidepanel to look through, current one has a fan there and obstructs a lot of view.
    Motherboard: Probably one of the new AM4 motherboards for Ryzen
    CPU: Ryzen 1700x
    GPU: Not changing this
    RAM: 32gb of 2.8ghz or more
    Storage: Defintely a new SSD
    PSU: No need to change this

    If you have any suggestions that'd be great. I'm sure pricing and options will change within 2 months, but it's good to look ahead.

    If you're gaming just get a 7600k or 7700k. RAM really doesn't matter that much as long as it's DDR4. 32GB is overkill unless you're using it for intensive data crunching.

    What kind of stuff would you be using this computer for btw?
    32GB of ram and ryzen seems a bit overkill for gaming but as a workstation i guess it would be pretty solid.

    You probably won't need 32GB if you're just doing it as a hobby, but I would get it just to future proof or when you move to beefier stuff.

    16GB Ram should be enough for rendering videos and editing of videos
