I have an existing GTX 1060 6GB I already had from before insane prices. And I bought an HP Omen 30L 5800x that someone had purchased to pull the video card from.

meanwhile geekbench is affected by ram speed

I've never talked to someone who was worried about 100 watts give or take in a desktop. The 100 watt difference, if you ran 24/7 is about 26 cents a day. A laptop would be a different story, of course, but these aren't laptops.

As for the footprint, it's usually not enough of a concern at the desktop to double or triple the price to go from a standard mini ATX down to a double height Mac Mini, but I'm sure there are some locations where that would be a concern.

No one outside of SF, Tokyo, & NYC cares about saving power or space for desktops which is why people panned the old garbage can pro. This is a slightly better direction, but I’m still waiting for a slightly more affordable bigger box Mac that isn’t an exorbitant Mac Pro. The old refrigerator models were reasonable. I don’t want an improved Mac garbage can model

It's the 5800x and 8-core. The stats are correct, I just mixed up the core count. It's my "new" desktop sitting behind me that I haven't finished moving onto yet, currently sitting without its video card in it.
