Hahaha you have no idea. 32gb is in no way absurd. In my line of work, you don't need a powerful gpu, you need RAM.
Virtual instruments load directly to the RAM and orchestral virtual instruments are the biggest. A single piano uses 400mb of RAM, my drum software uses 800mb. I don't even have "big" libraries, those use even more!
Also what I meant by capacity is that my music software uses my RAM up faster than my CPU which means there's room for improvement. It's easy to add RAM, but it's a pain in the arse to change your cpu. Considering mine cost around £300, another £100 for more RAM is nothing.
