That's a downgrade. If you simply overclock the 980 Ti you will most likely be on par with a GTX 1070, minus 2GB of VRAM.
Is this the same RAM you have now? If not, can't you just move over the DDR4 you currently have and save some money? Also, 20 game clients at 1.5-2GB of RAM each plus the operating system is likely going to exceed 32GB.
The main reason you wouldn't want to go with 2x16GB is because the CPU benefits from quad-channel memory, which requires one DIMM in each channel to be populated in order to work correctly. Otherwise, you'd only be running in dual-channel.
I doubt anyone has had the chance to extensively test one of these CPUs at this time (in our world), since they were just released two weeks ago and they don't have the most desirable price point at the moment. However, judging by benchmark reviews, it's safe to say that this generation is a little better than the last generation, and other than the GPU and RAM, I would guess that the system would as you expect it to.
Also, in the title, did you mean i9 or i7?
