If if money isn't a problem which it doesn't appear to be. Then go for DDR4 ram instead of DDR3

Then go for DDR4 ram instead of DDR3From what I've read, the gains don't really seem to be significant enough to be worth the price. Or am I just understanding that incorrectly? And yeah, while money's not a much of an issue, this'll be a work in progress type deal, trying to keep costs away from a $2500 max.
Make sure your RAM is low profile if you're going to use that Noctua. Otherwise, you risk having the heat sink block the RAM.

Otherwise, you risk having the heat sink block the RAM.I can't even tell you how much I panicked when you told me that. At least up until I remembered why I'd chosen the N-15 over the N-14, because the former has an adjustable frontal fan, which would be the only blockage.

as I can guarantee you no games anytime soon will be utilizing that kind of hardware. But if you get it, don't bother upgrading it for like the next decade and a half.

Just personal pref.
