Since by pc got boosted, I was thinking to get a new one, the very few times I bough a PC I have someone at some retail assembling it for me, but now retail stores aren't selling parts on site, so it has to be ordered by mail.
when I check the places that sale complete systems, they it seems they expect a high profit which I do not blame them for, but when you are the one paying, it give you pause.
must places have three categorizies:
low budged, under 1000
Main Stream, under 2000
and enthusiastic, under 3000
Some places have high ends work stations that the say are for video editing and content creation but those goes for 4000 and much higher, I saw a place that have a ridiculous 35,000 dollars pc.
anyway the thing is that when I check the enthusiastic range of PC, they do not even have high end CPUs, they come with 8 cores, and the part aren't even as good as you expect for that price, It seems all they do is stock an expensive 1200 dollar Nvidia GPU, and the rest are mediocre pc parts.
any way, I decided to try put the parts together and this is what I got. I have always been an Intel guy, I still believe Intel architecture is better than AMD, but the reality is that more cores trump faster clock rates and better architecture. Intel fell sleep at the helm they do not get their act together soon, they will lose to AMD and ARM.
Anyway here is what I came up with. What do you guys think of a system like this. my bigger fear is that the parts do not work together once I order it, the second fear is that second I order it, Intel come out with the 7 nm 16 cores, icore10 like it always seems to be the case. Anyway here is my selection.

the system is a little over the budget I was planning $2600.00
I was planning $2500 but when I checked for system with similar configuration they seem to be over a
$1000 higher in price. with a lesser CPU, amd 3900x instead of 3950x.
With this one you are up to date for a few years.
