Do I need a good gpu and how much ram, 16?

Also is there any mobo brand that's better suited or (generally has better compatibility and bios config)

I'm using the MSI 970A Gaming motherboard. The BIOS gives me 90% of the hardware configuration options. For overclocking you want more than just the standard OC features. You want to be able to adjust current(I) and voltage(V) for almost every component on the board. You also want a board that lets you change SPD timings.

I'll send you a link to the build I come up with and we can discuss after wards thx
