I think it's mostly the cost, like I can afford this now but I feel guilt over it, probably because the desktop didn't need replacing and doing so almost feels gawdy and crass. That said, it's a bloody pleasure to use so I'm rather pleased.
Self building and eGPU sounds bold, but equally fun. Not that I'd have the foggiest on where to start.
Appreciate the advice about cards, very useful to actual talk with someone rather than just rely on my interpretation of what I've read and limited knowledge!

Why did you go for the Stealth and Core versus just getting a Blade or Blade Pro? From what I've seen you can't use 10 series GTX with the Core, you have to jump right up to the Titan and that's an extra £1k on your build...
I'm really struggling with picking a laptop and I think I need to just ask for help (probably mental help too) as I've just been going in circles online and driving myself absolutely crazy.

Why embarrassed? Sounds lie a decent wee set up... toyed with the idea of an eGPU for my MBP but doubt I could self build...
After the dust had settled on the hype of the 10xx cards it sounds like that are not as crazy more powerful than the 9xx but a good step up over each model. So a 1060 is about the same as a 970, roughly, or at least thats what I got from various internet reading. That, coupled with no idea of when 10xx drivers for macOS would be out lead me to get a second hand 970...
