Advice on choosing the right PC for game development

Hi,

I'm very new to games development, haven't even really started yet. The issue is my current machine is too slow for literally anything (10 years old,  dying. was low-mid tier gaming when I got it)

So I need a new machine anyway, but don't want to have to upgrade soon. I'm looking at the specs for UE5 and I'm getting wildly inconsistent answers (e.g. RAM ranges from 8GB to 64GB). Any advice on why there is such a big gap?

I'm currently thinking about the Maxed out KIller V1 or the regular Killer V2 (Hoping to be able to get the RAM on one stick to make upgrades easier) https://computerorbit.com/collections/gaming-pcs#killergorilla

Any advice on the following is appreciated

  - those machines for UE5

  - upgradability

  - general advice on the situation

The machine is fine. UE5 is trash.
