I cant see how its possible to spend 20K on a computer , unless you get me to build a 2k computer for you and want me to paint flowers on the case with oil paints
It will be a masterpiece

Give everyone a realistic budget to work with. 20k is a number no one here will take seriously as you see above.
1,000 budget is a nice pc. 2,000 is a VERY nice pc and 3,000 and up is spending money on things you don't need and personally is a waste as it really does nothing for performance above a less than noticeable margin.
