so you want to build your own PC and so far you just have the memory?
unusual place to start, but OK, have to start somewhere. :)

as well as budget, what is the main purpose of the PC?

since you have the RAM, you'll need to get a motherboard that supports 1600Mhz which is going to be a limiting factor.
not many support that old, slow speed anymore.
any why the 5 sticks? 4x8GBs and 1x8GB.

then decide on storage: SSD, HDD, m.2 SSD? and get the mobo that suits that.

if gaming, get a good graphics card and match it to a high wattage power supply.

do you need an DVD drive, are you into see-through cases, are RGB lights your thing, do it need individually controlled fans, do you want liquid cooling?

it's a rabbit hole where having the memory is just scratching the surface. (y)
