- Why do you need 32 GB of RAM? 8 is common, 16 is luxury and often not needed, 32 is exceptional.
- I would add an SSD for the OS and programs, and possibly a HDD for storage.

Yes I agree with you, I will reduce it to 16 GB.
But do you think components are compatible and build is fine and I can go ahead with this.
Could you please suggest the monitor I should buy with this.
