What's your use case again? Sorry. IMO go with the cheaper option. Both are really really powerful machines. I don't see the point of a biggish ssd and a big spinner, either get an ssd that fits everything or don't. Guess if you had a massive movie collection? I doubt you'll be over clocking so you don't need the K, and you only really need the 1080 if you are gaming competitively or at 4k. Or maybe a video pro using premier.

Thanks for the insight chap. It's mostly for 3D design applications like Cinema 4D/3D Studio Max with some CAD/Illustrator/Photoshop at the moment, but I also do some Photogrammetry and video editing at 1080p and this is something that might be expanded in future as I'm planning on getting a UAV license later in the year to do aerial survey stuff.
I kind of get the video card aspect but not really sure how all this translates into performance for particular programs-I'm Mac based atm but a lot of the 3D/CAD stuff is PC orientated so that's why I'm making the change. I'm just getting really frustrated with machines at Uni that aren't powerful enough to run 3D apps as it takes 20 times as long to do anything because of repeated crashing... I'd pay another £500 to avoid dealing with that over the next year as with so many assignments I want to be able to work as effectively as I can at home and spare myself the caffeine fuelled purgatory of the computer labs.

I went for a 32" LG monitor.
A bit of a kerfuffle over the PC though-ordered one that ticked all boxes and price, was then told out of stock :(
I could have a Dell XPS 8910 withProcessor: Intel Core i7-6700 Processor (4 Core,up to 4.0GHz,8MB Cache, 65W) 256gb SSD, 16GB DDR4 RAM, 2TB SATA and NVIDIA GTX 1070 for £960
OR... for £1500:
Zoostorm StormForce Inferno, 3.0TB HDD, 512GB SSD (M2), Intel Core i7-6700K, Thermaltake Water 3.0 Performer C Universal Water Cooling System, Asus Z170-P Motherboard, KFA2 GeForce GTX 1080 EXOC Graphics Card, 32GB (4x8GB) Kingston HyperX RAM
The cheaper option is more tempting even if it's Dell certified refurbished, as I can always upgrade RAM/graphics and atm I'm not sure if I'll notice the difference in performance, but the Zoostorm seems like it's as futureproof/beefy as I'd ever need straight out the box. I know fuck all about Zoostorm as a company although they do give a three year warranty as standard...
basically
