New workstation build

[opethdisciple]

Can some one just quickly glance over my build I'm putting together for a work station machine for study (linux, cisco).

It will be running Ubuntu as the host OS.

It's purpose will be running VM's.

CPU/fan
gpu
mobo
ram
hdd/ssd - got
case
psu
monitor - got

Should I get 16Gb or ram, or is 8Gb enough?

The stock fan that comes wiht the AMD 8320 should fit in the Nova midi tower case?

Fast drives's and lots of RAM help VM's. I would get 4GB for host + 2GB(min) for each VM you plan to run. Linux might need less RAM than Windows but I would go for 16GB.
