Thanks - I have a bunch of hard drives already so was planning on transferring them across.
It does seem a big expense - have never spent anything like this on a computer before. But for any of the more complex work I've done lately, I'm spending a large proportion of the time finding ways of working round my computer's limitations.
(and while I mostly try and resist computer games, being able to run modern games on high settings is quite exciting).

After Effects will definitely make use of the RAM for caching, which will use the slower SSD
otherwise. I'd consider 32GB to be bare minimum for a workstation, think 64 will be very worthwhile.
That's a lot of PC for the money, but for video work you're gonna need more storage space unless you're working from a server? Easy enough to add those yourself tho'.
