Just put one together for myself from parts on sale:
Note, something I learned from this project: RAM slots can run at, say 6000 MT/s if there are 1 or 2 sticks inserted, but that speed can drop to ~3600 MT/s if 4 sticks are inserted. So, a careful reading of the specs sheet is required, and it's best to buy the desired amount of RAM in pairs (i.e. for 32 GB buy 2x16, not 4x8). Also, was strongly recommended to pay attention to the CL speed (CAS Latency). On those recommendations, I bought 6000 MT/s with CL 30 instead of 6400 MT/s at 32 CL as it is supposed to be more performant. Addendum to previous email, speaking of RAM: https://www.canadacomputers.com/en/desktop-memory/249812/teamgroup-t-force-d...
