A Build For Audio Production?

Greetings, everyone! Long story short, my computer of seven years is angry and upset at all the music creating and rendering I had it do when it thought it was just going to play video games. So I'm currently here wondering about a potential purchase that will elevate my capabilities with composing larger pieces of music far sooner!

Budget:
$3000. We don't need any accessories.

Expectations:
Loading music sampling libraries faster without being hit with limitations so soon. Gaming is secondary and very much an after thought these days. Especially since my current computer plays games just fine right now. (AMD Radeon 7970)

Usage:
For context, I currently have a traditional harddrive that takes over 3 minutes to load a single instance of the higher quality instruments. (The music libraries are quite LARGE.) Load three or four more of them and the computer will slow down substantially. I need the SSD drives since they're known for reducing load times to 1 mere second and the 64gigs of RAM to prevent the computer from becoming overwhelmed like my 16gigs of RAM currently does to my current computer.

Special Needs:
So my question is, the configuration (In the saved ticket area) I have says 64gigs of RAM, but I'm too new at computers to confidently know for sure if the motherboard will support 8 sticks of memory. I ask because it seemed, at a glance, that most only support 4, and the information on my selection didn't exactly suggest it had space for more, either. That's the biggest question I have at the moment.

+1 for a stronger mobo and a Corsair all-in-one.

If you want to keep it light on the GPU for the budget, I still recommend you consider the 1660 Ti. At $45 more, it delivers 20% more performance, and is the best budget option for 1080p. The RTX 2060 will kill at 1080p and be decent at 1440p. The 2070 is the best price/performance pick for 1440p.

This GPU cycle is beginning to age, and you would not do too poorly to go budget and see what you actually require when the next gen delivers more performance. Agree everything else is killer for your purpose. My take.
