Considering getting one for both aesthetic and saving money. Gonna get one where I can upgrade the RAM to 128 gigs and the ROM to at least 8 TB SSD.

Any pros, cons, suggestions, etc?

    I honestly thought this was a bit. Unless you’re building a server for a data mining lab or something like that, you’ll hardly need 128 GB of RAM, and you’ll probably forget about what is in 7 out of 8 of your TBs unless you’re storing a lot of raw video footage. That looks like a waste of money.

    If you want to play games, a good mid-range GPU plus 16 GB of RAM tops is all you’re going to need. Anything more than that gets into the realm of “ultra graphics” which is too subjective for me to give any useful advice.

    P.S.: unless you’re already hitting it close to your max memory usage, more memory usually does basically nothing to improve speed. It might even have slower data fetch rates than a smaller board due to sheer size and bus complexity.
