Just an update, I decided to with G.Skill Trident Z Black/White 32GB DDR4 3600MHz CL17 Dual Channel Kit. Thank you @martward!

The GPU is there just to support 2 x 4K displays. I cannot find any better memory in stock at the local stores. I would appreciate if you could recommend me some better memory (I guess 3600MHz?)

Oh, sorry, should have mentioned this. I will be using my computer mostly for programming (web development especially).

Hello, I just ordered parts for my new workstation (programming, web development) and I still have a chance to do some last minute changes before assembling everything.

Woah, that's a great point, thanks! I just thought that I would pick a random one at the end. That one looks good, thank you for the recommendations!

Considering that I will run several virtual machines, I would like to keep my options open regarding how much RAM in can stuff in there. The shop where I plan to do all my shopping has pretty much the same price for 4x8GB vs 2x16GB (20$ difference).

Great explanation. I think I will go with 1TB SSD.

Thank you for your excellent suggestions. To be honest, I really do not mind paying a little more even if the improvement is only 25%, especially considering that I probably will not upgrade for a few years. I have been trying to find evidence for this, but I could not find anything. According to CPU UserBenchmark, i9-9900k is about 25% faster than Ryzen. According to SSD UserBenchmark it seems that the Samsung one is twice as fast. Also, I want the two separate HDDs to run in RAID 1 (for backup).

Hello guys, I am planning to build a new workstation. I am planning to use it for programming, running a few virtual machines and maybe occasional gaming (I am not playing any games right now, but with such a powerful rig, I might). ;) Ideally, this would be a Hackintosh, but it is pretty difficult to get every component right which makes me think that I should drop this idea.
