I have a similar spec, except I use an SSD for the build area and only 16GB RAM (I don’t see more than about 12GB used during a build) - a build from scratch (excluding download time) takes just under an hour.

If you go for an Intel CPU, then having one with a decent turbo boost can help as some parts of the initial build only use a single core and it helps to get past that bottle-neck.
