I've read that the more threads there are, the better. This is generation 10 processor, so I'm hoping that might make a difference as well. Things like the pricey monitor, optical drive, and two solid state drives are desired for the user, so those are staying no matter what. But I wanted to know if there is anything I can do to reduce the price of this machine. Was hoping the machine could be built for $1500 or less, not including the monitor.
Also, pretty sure this build can do 4k video editing. But... correct me I'm wrong?
