FYI: 32 GB of system RAM will have zero bearing on gaming performance.

It is on the other hand, fantastic for running multiple production apps, rendering video, editing and compositing massive image files, pre--rendering CG output among other things. None of which would improve video game performance. No game engines utilize that much system memory.

For gaming, I'd buy a VGA card with 4GB of DDR5 VRAM (very pricey) before buying 32GB of DDR3 system RAM (comparatively cheap) on every single gaming PC configuration I could come up with.
