Ohh and i want to be able to handle some of the games being released nowaday. Games like the new Resident Evil Remake, Monster Hunter World, AC: Odyssey and X-Plane 11. I'm guessing it will be fine for those games since its way above the recommended specs for RE:Remake.

Also, do you guys think that the ram is overkill? i want to go with 32gb but i dont know if the 3866 is too much. I want to be able to handle the games i listed and not have to worry about upgrading for at least 5-6 years. Also what about the processor? I wasnt sure about I3 vs I5 vs I7 or if Kabylake was too much or if i should have gone with a Skylake. The price different didnt seem like that much but i'm wondering if there is something else that i'm not taking into account about its performance or whatever.
