My old MBP is starting to feel a bit old and crap but I need to keep it around purely for Sketch...
Thinking of building a workstation for heavy lifting and gaming though. Just specc'd this up and it came to £1,180. Got an old 20 inch 1680 x 1050 screen which is pretty decent but it may also be an excuse to buy a new telly if I can put it in the living room...
The storage isn't finalised – I'm dabbling with the idea of getting something cheaper like a Samsung EVO or Sandisk for bulk storage and then something baller like a 960 pro for boot/programs... Would probably add another couple hundred, though.
Honestly I'd look at maybe stretching to a nvidia 1060 for a little more future-proofing. You could always half that RAM for now and look at buying 2 more sticks of it later if you need. You also may need a 750W PSU.
