I can post a link to a full PCPartPicker list later if you want, or answer specific questions.
It's a 3970X with 128GB (link to RAM in sibling thread) of 3000MHz RAM on a GIGABYTE Aorus Master. No processor overclock. Running Noctua's NH-U14S with one of their high-RPM fans. GPU is nothing special - the cheapest card I could find with DisplayPort 1.4+ and HDMI 2.0+ (for potential dual 4k@60Hz - currently dual 2560x1440@60Hz) - it's a Radeon 550. Boots from NVME and has 40TB raw (20TB usable) spinning disk.
It's a virtualization host and prototyping workstation. I work primarily in data analytics, and it's not uncommon to have prod servers larger than this. I've got enough headroom to realistically test things at scale.
