Interesting to read peoples thoughts re computers for image processing.
I have a newish i7-6700 3.4 Gh, with 16Gb of ram, a good power supply and of course a couple of SSD drives. Seems more than enough for me.
I don't have to wait for Pixinsight or Photoshop.
The comment was made that video cards and monitors are not critical. I don't agree.
Given that image processing is what we are most concerned with it, it is illogical not to have at least one high quality monitor that can be calibrated.
Calibration with a spider type device is essential.
I have 2 monitors, A 27 inch Eizo and a 19 inch Eizo. The 27 for the image and the 19 for tools etc and a reasonable, not top gamers, video card.
My printer, Epson photo, can print up to A3+. I can see the image at printed size on the 27 and calibrated to look on screen as close as I can get from the print. I think being able to achieve this is most important.
Just my thoughts
