I don't understand why people keep gravitating towards intel when it is clear for many years already that AMD took the lead in every aspect. Intel had to sell their SSD business, which was the most lucrative, so they can cope with their big problems. Many intel 13gen cpus are just rebranded 12gen. Corners were cut to achieve speeds to compete with AMD, which now many people feel in their pocket.
AMD 7950x is a beast for audio, and now its less than $500. Pair it with a x670e mobo with DDR5 and PCIe 5, and you're good to go for many years from now.
As for RAM I suggest you get only 2 DIMMs, as four can see performance decrease. 2x32gb or 2x48gb should be fine. Even kontakt libraries can't use that much RAM - they have one instrument loaded at the time, and probably you won't use more than 10 separate libraries in a project. Last time I checked, I loaded 3 libraries - one violin, one full orchestra and one piano, all in hi-res and playing at the same time, and the RAM load was around 1-1.5gb.
