Personal experience - 2700x with an SSD and 64gb of ram. Blazing fast working with large Java heaps etc, which is a lot of what I do. Gaming is a non issue as long as you have a decent GPU. Have a 1070ti right now.

That CPU is a bit outdated now, but just a nice benchmark to show the 3*x is definitely enough.

2700X, same 64GB but a 2080 and yes it's so damn fast for programming and gaming I haven't been able to justify upgrading to a 3900/3950 other than "ooh shiny - want it" which isn't enough on it's own.
