I picked up a new AM5 mobo and a Ryzen 9 7950X, but haven't put it together yet. I plan to in the next couple of months though, it's been hectic around here

Cool. I was looking at a Threadripper PRO with at least 32/64, but my main interest is picking up at least 1TB of fast RAM. Can I beat this: https://nemixram.com/products/ddr5-4800mhz-pc5-38400-rdimm-4rx4?variant=46564952539448

I'm usually lazy and buy Dell. But they want like $80k for something like this. Seems like I can get it done for $15-20k.

Nice. I picked up a couple of these with libbitcoin in mind for that box: https://www.newegg.com/intel-2tb-670p-series/p/N82E16820167473?Item=N82E16820167473

I looked at getting a Dell box with min RAM/SSD and just stuffing it with above... https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/workstations-isv-certified/new-precision-7875-tower[…]75mtus_vp?configurationid=f6b0f7b8-70b5-4f01-811c-e99e82837b7b

But prob can save a bunch by building my own. Just haven't done it in forever.

Can't tell by the picture, but if it's standard ATX (pretty much the main format I've built), it hasn't changed at all and is straight-forward.
