At least for my part, because I've progressively upgraded it over the last 10 years or more. That 12.1TB storage you see in my specs wasn't bought all at once. It started with one 1TB drive, then another, then a 1.5TB external drive which eventually died and got put in my PC, and it went from there. The other parts only get swapped out every 3-5 years.
 
PC that died:
AMD Phoenom II x4 805
ATI Radeon HD 5770 1GB DDR5
8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 RAM (forgot clock)
7TB (3 x 2TB and 1 x 1TB HDD's)

New build:
i7 6700k Skylake
Nvidia GTX 970 4GB DDR5
32 GB (2 x 16GB) DDR4 RAM 2400
512GB Sandisk x300 SSD
3TB Seagate HDD
8TB (4 x 2TB HDD) USB 3.0 HDD bay

I left room for upgrades. Of course I can get 32GB more ram. I can go to M.2 SSD, and I can always get a second 970, better card, or 2 better cards.

I have begging the wife to upgrade my 7 year old machine for years now. It finally died, and she promised me tax time. Well, tax time is here, and I managed to get a $1500 budget. I ordered the parts on Friday. It's like when I was a kid and won a year's supply of cookies. I knew it was coming, and was so excited. That year's supply only lasted a month, though.

Why do you need 32GB of ram or even 64GB for that matter?
16GB is more than enough for gaming pc's

I mainly got 32GBs of RAM because I could. (And it was the max my motherboard could support.) Now thinking about it there really isn't a need for it. (Though I was thinking about grabbing a program like Dimmdrive for some games.)

You could run four simultaneous instances of Battlefront, so there's that

Future proofing, and video transcoding/editing. Consider today's resolutions. Transcoding a 4K movie takes awhile. Time is significantly reduced with more RAM.
Gaming is only secondary. That is why I blew my wad on RAM instead of a video card.

EDIT: In retrospect, I could've taken $90 worth of ram and invested in a slightly better Video card. Oh, well. Them's the breaks.
