   For my latest PC I bought a gaming machine – i7-14700KF CPU (20 cores).   
   32 GB RAM, 16GB graphics RAM. 3.4 GHz (5.6 GHz in turbo mode). More RAM   
   was needed, my last machine only had 16GB, found it using about 20GB. I   
   did not want to spring for a machine with even more RAM, they tended to   
   be high-end machines.
