I guess the big baddie is the wma to wav rendering. Considering the price of the Audiophile version coming on an external USB 3.0 drive INCLUDED versus the wma only download 'model', and the coming upgrading to 2019 deals, you might be wiser to follow that route instead of building a speed monster. Built an i7 5930K 3,5 GHz ASUSx99 system four years ago, and killed all the Windows 10 bullshit; it is still fast enough. About 3-5 secs rendering time for a BIAB RT ridden MGU. Biab internally installed on a separate 2TB SATA drive.
