In the fight against hanging threads, I thought the least I could do was post what I ended-up doing.
I'm sure that I paid too much and made certain un-cool choices. But thanks to the advice of a number of members here, I put together sort of an amalgamated version, correcting a number of shortcomings pointed out by you guys. So, thanks for that.
Some of the boo-boos pointed out were: No hyper threading (thank you, ISW), W10 "Home" (thank you, novaburst), under-size PSU (thank you, Quasar).
I'm pretty sure my new machine will be both a great improvement for me, while still having something for everyone to critique. So it's a win/win. Who could ask for anything more?
For about a hundred bucks more than the unit in post #1, here's what's on the way:
Dell XPS 8930
9th Gen Core i9 9900
Windows 10 Pro 64bit English
32GB, DDR4, 2666MHz
512GB PCIe x4 SSD + 1TB 7200RPM HDD
AMD Radeon RX 5600 (I couldn't talk them down on this)
Gold Standard PSU 850W
Thanks again for all the input.
