No probs, sounds like you do need some power... have you also considered Hackitosh if you are coming from macOS? Although if you are not too fussed about keeping macOS and all your apps are in W10 it's prob not worth the hassle, feels a bit whorish but by sheer coincidence I have one for sale on here...

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.
