I have had my 8700k system for nearly 2 years now. 32gb ram, M2 ssd.

Passive graphics card (not in to gaming etc)

2 * 2 TB WD black hard drives.

Fantastic performance with Reaper.

Now that SSD's are much much cheaper, I would go for a bigger system/programs SSD and another big SSD (or more!) for samples and data - shovelling off crucial data to external disks.

So far so good, and I am very pleased with it - and I do think others here who have gone down this similar route are also very happy.

PS Fast core for realtime rendering (always a good thing) ;lots of cores for multiprocessing of those FX chains across your tracks. Reaper only pushes all my cpu's when doing renders. Otherwise, it just ticks over!
