I'd honestly just build one yourself. Couple of youtube videos and bobs ya uncle. Its electric lego. I had never even used a PC before let alone built one when I built my Hack...

I hears ya but I've my head full of too much school shit to devote the time to even researching and sourcing it part by part then putting it together. For £1150 I got a pretty beasting machine with keyboard, mouse and 32" monitor, and have spent another ton on a 16gb RAM upgrade so I think that's probably in the range of what i'd have been spending even on self-assembly.
Many thanks for the input tho-big outlay so helped steer me in the right direction.

I checked and the Dell8910 has one 16gb RAM card installed and another 3 slots up to a maximum of 64gb, so should be ok for that.
If just paying an extra £500 for the 1080 I might hang off and see how the 1070 performs in real life usage-most comparisons I've seen are quoting a c.16% difference in favour of the 1080 for rendering which doesn't sound life or death. I think Unity and Autodesk cloud services will also take the strain off anything genuinely meaty.
I've just been using Photoscan as I got a free license through my old Uni that's never expired-it's actually one of the few programs that has run ok on my Mac 2011 powerbook
