So, my sisters old PC just broke down, and she's thinking if buying the PC I have at the moment. That leaves me needing a new PC, something I've been thinking of buying for a while now. Currently I'm looking at buying a customizable prebuilt PC from a store here in Norway, as that's a bit cheaper that buying all the parts myself. However I'm still a bit unsure about the builds I have narrowed it down to and would love some advice choosing the builds, or different components for them. As I live in Norway, I pay in NOK, not in USD, so that's also what I've listed all the prices as. If you're curious roughly what I would have to pay to bring something I have to pay for in USD up here, just multiply the price by 10. Besides each component I have listed the standalone price for it. If you want to see what choices I have, just check the link and try navigating a Norwegian website :P.

If you can wait, AMD's Threadripper is coming out soon-ish and is showing to be very promising (inb4its just another athlon)
Otherwise, I would recommend just getting 1TB SSD instead of SSD+HDD combo if you can spare the extra dollars (or kr)
Don't know if you really need 32GB of RAM; I personally never actually max out the 16 I have, but depends if you leave like 20 billion things open all at once.
My software doesn't have bugs. It just develops random features.
Do you have a hour emergency call systems broadcasting radio station WNYW or Internet Explorer? Well? Which one?
