Yeah, we’re old and (relatively) rich, and tend to live with our tech for a few years longer than we should, so we had the budget for it. I don’t know if I can recommend a specific model or configuration without more information about your uses (what type of game, what monitors are you driving, what kinds of analytics or modeling you’re doing, etc.) and, most importantly, your budgetary tradeoffs (what don’t you get to do if you overspend on a PC).
For her, we talked though our (my) biases toward intel and nvidia, and decided not to care about the CPU brand, but stay with nvidia GPU. Then picked almost purely based on price point for the best GPU which could tell ourselves it was OK to spend that much. The closest current model is their Vanquish 270, but honestly the 250 would be very nearly as good, for $400 less.
Cool stuff, if a bit pricey. Which model and how would you configure it?
