Specs before I buy

Very! It gets to a point where cost/value doesn’t make huge leaps any more, I was swayed by Ryzen for its power efficiency over Intel and more likely mobo forward compatibility. I’m mainly a Mac user for work (theatre sound industry is pretty much 100% Mac based software) so didn’t have any bias, and ryzen seemed a great all rounder.

All mission creep, “oooh but I could spend £50 more and get the next model up” etc etc and I’m awful at restraining myself! haha
