Must say doing more research the Core I7 7820X or Core I9 7900X seem very powerful for a respective 8 and ten core CPU. I am not fully across AMD Threadripper performance vs value yet. A big rig modern Inetl PC with high core CPU and fast I/O (PCIE NVME) and say 64 GB RAM will cost in the high $4K to mid $5K depending on how you spec your machine. So it's worth planning well.
Similarily landing a dual high core Xeon Workstation and add NVME storage and big GPU will cost around $5,000. So part of me says going local and modern might make more sense!
