So this little piece of Alienware crap is a no go? Just a mere $7200 on Amazon with Free Shipping!

Alienware Area 51 R4 Intel Core i9-7920X 12 Core 2.9GHz - 2TB 7200RPM + 1TB SSD - 32GB DDR4 SDRAM - 2X SLI Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 TI 11GB GDDR5X - 1000W - Windows 10 Gaming Desktop

Thanks for all the replies and advice. Guess we'll see what happens at tax time. I know the wife has ideas where a lot of money is going (house updates).

But, as I said, nothing will beat buying used hardware from 1 -2 generations ago if you want bang for the buck (and less trouble with the wife, for that matter ) And I thought the OP had mentioned that.
