I can upgrade you to 128GB (4x32GB) DDR4 2933 ECC RAM for $580 extra.
This system comes with a new Lenovo dual drive bay expansion kit (costs $50 extra, I'm charging you $35 for it) so it can do four 3.5-inch drive bays, plus three more 3.5" drives in the dual 5.25" drive bay, and the mobo has 7x SATA ports; It comes with 900W power supply, CPU heatsink, and DVD burner.
I have an nVidia Titan V 12GB for $285 (cost $3000 new in 2018) that is perfect for running LLM using TurboQuant and you might not need another GPU because the P520 RAM is DD5 5866 equivalent, but you can mix that with an nVidia V100 32GB AI accelerator and it will be a local LLM beast! You can also get a PCIe x16 Oculink adapter card and two dual PCIe x6 Oculink adapters to break out eight GPUs with a 10G ethernet card, and use a 3D printed case (you can use my 3D printer for PETG); more info in video titled "Stop wasting PCIe lanes…build this!". That is why Xeons are badass.

I can sell you a dual Intel X710-DA2 10G SFP+ PCIe x8 3.0 ethernet card for $48 with three optical 10G transceivers, or an RJ45 copper wire 2.5G PCIe x1 3.0 ethernet card for $10.
I can sell you a1TB hard drive for $15.
