What would make far more sense:
1) 4GB VRAM and put savings into screen
2) 2560x1440 screen
3) RAID SSD? (diminishing returns say why bother?)
4) 16GB vs 8GB... I'm okay with that.
I just can't get past the 1080p screen. I don't have a problem with 16GB DDR4, RAID etc if that's something someone wants but it would simply make more sense to drop/lower one of these components to put in a 1440p for the same size.
1080p looks horrible when viewed close as well on a 27" screen. Poor pixel density.
I use a 32" 1080p display, and I think it looks good, but that is an opinion. I certainly agree that as it is, this should not have a 1080p display though. 4 GB vRAM with a 2K display would be much better.
I also didn't really go into it in the article as I personally love to have tons of storage space, but the 4 TB HDD is really over kill too, let alone having another 2 TB with it. Most users aren't going to use even a third of that, so it would make a lot of sense to drop down to a 2 TB HDD and either lower the cost or toss that money into the display also.
