honestly 8GB of ram and an SSD will make you love your PC again. You don't need an i5/7 CPU unless you do lots but memory & SSD makes M$ office run OK.Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.Comment

Bought some new hardware recently but defo not top spec. The most demanding apps I run are sequencers / samplers and though loads of RAM help I can still produce perfectly acceptable results with no bottlenecks on five year old kit with all the up to date outboard gear. It's cool though to have the hardware to run multiple VM's for testing server builds.
For work I'm 90% of the time in a terminal and CLI so anything does the job.Comment
