32GB of RAM is a total waste just for gaming, will you use it for anything else that needs that much RAM?

That's a pretty small SSD, will you be adding other drives that you have?

What monitor will you be using?

What did that come to and what's your maximum budget?

RAM : Work too, dozens and dozens of webpages, and standard office apps plus a virtualized soft for product management and monitoring. I have 16GB now and it gets chewed up.
Monitor: 4k large beast, between 34" and 42" like the large LG or similar sized curved Philips. Both only 60Hz but I doubt at my age my reaction time would be improved by 120Hz and above.
Cost : It came to 2.6k, budget started at 1.6k but I've raised it 3 times! Budget is fluid, don't want to spend 2.6k but am willing to do so if I get a machine that performs work and 4k gaming easily for years to come.

Yes, now that I heard about AMD's upcoming revision to the Ryzen line up. I'm and not in a hurry, but I want my pc to run as fast as possible!
