New Spec

This is for work. I build huge linked spreadsheets,millions of cells with heavy duty database stuff going on.

At the moment I have to use manual recalculation and I regularly break Excel. Extraction of database lines according to changing criteria is almost impossible, it just uses too much RAM. LP

I'd like to feel I didn't need to upgrade for at least five years after this. It's jolly expensive but I'm willing to pay for a real workhorse.

Have I forgotten anything? Have I included components that are incompatible?

I know many of you will think it wildly overspecced for what I'm doing but I've had enough Ford Focuses in my life - now I want a Ferrari.

The RTX 3060 is the lowest spec'ed GPU for the Ionico. I guess it's going the the best real estate monitor resolution among what PCS offers.

To the OP: I've preordered the same Chassis, your spec is excellent from my point of view.

The GPU is what comes with the machine. I'm sure it's far in excess of what I need, though no doubt it will add ... er, something ... to those funny cat videos.

If you don't need the 1440p screen I would recommend going for one of the different chassis such as the Defiance or the Elmina. The Tong Fang chassis of the last generation had serious quality control issues.
