Hello everyone! I'm planning to build a computer within a month or two and I'm just looking for some advice. I play wow, lol, and the occasional game if there is a good enough sale on steam! I would like to keep my budget around 1500$. Would their be any benefit to get 16gigs of ram over 8? Should I get a 128ssd if I plan on putting my OS and maybe 2-3 games on it? When they're "liquid" cpu coolers do I have to refill the liquid into it? Is that difficult to do?
I put together of an idea of what I want from reading a few suggestions online and now I'm looking for suggestions on this
