Well, a 24GB system is expensive but main-street now.
(I built one in june): based on i7 implied triple channel memory, and
therefore most single i7-supporting motherboard are limited to 24GB.
Finding a set of 6 Ram-stick to fill the slots is rather easy too, as
memory-maker/seller make kit ready to install (and with warranty).

Motherboard: about 200€
Memory: about 800€
CPU: anywhere from 200 to 1000€
Box: from 50€ to 200€ (according to the cooling and other
easy-life-making: hand-screw, clip-on...)
and so on for the small details (mouse, keyboard, graphics card(s),
display...)

There you go, a system with more than 16GB.
