Considering getting one for both aesthetic and saving money. Gonna get one where I can upgrade the RAM to 128 gigs and the ROM to at least 8 TB SSD.

Any pros, cons, suggestions, etc?

    RAM to 128 gigs

    You really don’t need that much RAM for gaming. 32G is fine, 64G is overkill, 128G is wasting money.

    I regularly compile chromium on a ramdisk, using a solid 32 threads, on 128GB and that’s about the only legitimate use case that I can think of.

    ROM to at least 8 TB SSD.

    ROM means Read Only Memory. You don’t want that in a computer that you intend to store things in.

    Honestly though, you don’t need more than ~2-4TB of solid stare storage in a PC at this point; it’s trivial to add an additional NVMe or replaced the existing one - save yourself some cash in the short term; flash prices are coming down every day; by the time you hit capacity it’ll be far cheaper to buy more storage.
