Notably, MSI pre-built PCs have only lightly 'nerf'd' boards, and often can be cross-flashed into their Enthusiast counterpart.
Or, building an 'import' X99 build. PC4 RDIMMs aren't quite as bad as UDIMMs on the secondary market. The extremely adventurous can try to scrape together a DDR3 X99 build, too; but, one must be pedantic w/ CPU choice.
Broadwell-E (Xeon E5 v4) beats 3000series Ryzens clock:clock core:core.
Sadly, the Haswell-E (Xeon E5 v3) are more OCable but, closer to meeting Ryzen3000, not beating it so-handedly.

DDR5 RDIMMS used to be ~$150 per 32GB
DDR4 3200 used to be ~$70, or even cheaper.
Now ddr5 is ~$500-600
and ddr4 is ~$300
So, factor of 4x for both, roughly.
One cannot practically stand opposed to the unstoppable force of "The Market".
$239 for 2x16GB is a very good deal, right now.
