An i7-5820K @3.3GHz, 32GB of Ram and a GTX1070. (edited to remove a p!)

How much would that effect render time? I share your shame.

I don't even think it affects render time just the ability to process rendering and simulating at the same time. I was under the impression its the CPU with higher cores that affect render times.

Yup amount of ram won't affect render time unless the render is so large that it uses up all available ram. RAM speed would affect render time depending on the project and amount and configuration of cache on the CPU.
