Good build but you don't really need 16GB of RAM for playing games 8GB is enough, you should get 8GB (2x4GB) and see if you have enough to get an i5

This has got to be pre built, because if someone gave you this as a custom build, they need shooting.

An i3 with 16GB of RAM? #NoLogic...

I would rather get a better CPU than having more RAM and a crappy one. You need to build one man, otherwise it's pointless rubbish.

its not prebuilt it is just because the case and motherboard will not fit an i5 or i7 in, but i heard good reviews about that processor

If it can fit a Haswell i3, it can fit a Haswell i5 or i7. the i3 is poop.

"i do alot of edits so 16gb is what i need haha" Why would you get an i3 then? Editing wise you will need an i7.

Far from it, an i7 is handy for editing, but it is far from "needed". The i3 will do everything the i7 can, just slower.

So what's the point getting the i3? You want it to be quick and simple. Having an i3 will make it slow and boring.
