I've got a near identical build, and my process was the same as you. I added a decent pcie nvme drive, and spent more than I guess I could have done on a motherboard that supports up to 128G ram so I can extend it later. I'm waiting for ram to drop in price a bit, or to hit a problem where I need more than 32 sooner, before bumping that up and probably adding more storage.
It's been great sshing in from my laptop, submitting a job that completes far more quickly and keeping my laptop cool.
- croon 10y agoI kept my old 512GB Samsung 850 Pro, but will definitely get an nvme when I need more space/speed. Getting another 32 RAM will hold me over until I'll build a new one, so that part I'm not worried about. Yeah, it's supremely fast, my only regret is not having enough time to do something fun with it. For work I'm stuck with the clients platform approved machine, which is not what I would've picked. Tough to complain, but if I'm ever between contracts, I'll likely get into some fun project.
