Would this PC Build work?

Theoretically, maybe.

What exactly is this for? Killer system, but the dual Xeon is probably a bit much.

I was just curious if it would work if you have a PC with 36 cores (72 threads) and 0.5 TB of RAM. I don't plan on actually building this unless I suddenly came into money (like the lottery or something).

Oh, alright. but yes. Theoretically this is possible. RAM is completely overkill, as well as the dual-Xeon. Such an extreme amount of processing power is really only needed if running multiple virtual machines, or doing 4k or higher video editing that will be extremely CPU intensive. The real problem is finding programs that can actually take advantage of all of those CPU cores/threads. Usually only professional programs offer support for such an extreme configuration.

That would make sense.
