I upgraded 15 months ago to a motherboard that takes 64GB RAM - IMHO, RAM is critical for fast image processing - by default if you use such a motherboard you will need a recent processor. Because I play games on the PC, the graphics processor keeps getting updated regularly as well! I also use two SSDs - one for the operating system/applications, and one exclusively for the swap files/scratch disk. No problems at all with speed...
