512gb ram

Better off going for 6000mhz ram for amd cpu

workstation RAM is a different creature, to be honest Roger, you're not going to get much valuable feedback here as workstations are very niche, more so than laptops

the one bit of feedback I have is to reconsider the network card, the motherboard already has 2x10Gb ethernet port, so the second one seems superfluous
