Visual Studio CPU Hardware recommendations

If that's the case then it's all good. I asked because even 32gb might not be enough for some projects, while others can do fine with even 8~16gb.

Yeah, GPU is going to be pretty much irrelevant.

I'd say to skip on a dGPU and use that money for a better CPU, such as the 7950x that was previously mentioned. That's going to be a way better investment.

Depends on how the project is set up, but it should spawn as much jobs as possible when compiling (talking more specifically about Cpp, I'm not really keen into C# stuff).
Multi threaded performance is often better than single perf for such workloads.
