I think stating budget is good. Got a feeling that you can just run on IGP Intel HD530.

Why do you need 16GB RAM and Core i7?

Hi

No specific reason.. Just a preference to gear up so that no need to upgrade again.. Ok with i-5 as well..

If you are not doing photoshop or video rendering work, your computer will not use more than 8gb of ram. In other word, your remaining 8gb of ram will just be sitting there doing nothing all the time hence waste money. This also applies to choosing i7 cpu.

DDR3 8gb are still sufficient for more than 5 years if you are just gonna do basic stuff or gaming. And after 5 years, your DDR3 16gb will be obsolete and DDR4 ram will dominate the market.

Please ignore all my advise if you are rich.
