I am building a new system. I will primarily use is for image, video, and web editing along with running some virtual machines and some light gaming. I am going with a Asus z170-pro and a Intel 6700k cpu. I would really like to go with 32gig of ram however I don't want to go overboard with price so 16gig isn't out of the question. My current system keeps 8g maxed out for the most part and average 50% cpu usage. If I go with 16g I can afford faster ram but I am not sure that 16g will be sufficient enough. Another thing that is a factor is since I am going with the 6700k processor it will be using some of my ram for vram also. While we are at it what power supply would you guys recommend?
