If alternates are better suited for my build please let me know. I know the 2600k will be good for working with multiple applications simultaneously via Hyper-threading. I don’t need a Quadro or workstation GPU. The 2012 releases of the applications I will be using only utilize 12gb of Memory max.
Thanks
