Use SSD hard drives ... they boot faster
Oh yeah, I certainly agree. I made sure when I chose my current Dell XPS15 laptop to get an SSD drive, boots up and into Windows in about 7 seconds.

Can I ask why?
Instinctively I go for the upper 2/3 of the current tech tree, I guess. I mean, if I'm going to spend money, I want to make sure I don't have any regrets.

Your feedback has been super helpful! I really think you are right, there's no need to reach for the high end. I mean, if you had not stepped in, I would be building a super computer

Seems like you're right, I keep seeing build videos and the AMD 5 is what they reach for.

Let's suppose that AMD and Intel get into a serious price war and suddenly the price of hardware (all hardware) drops though the floor. Everything gets cheap, would it be a good idea to "yolo" your new hardware and go for broke?
Ha! The Rules of the Universe will only allow that to happen 91 days after I buy my system.

Hmmm... is there a chance this could happen?
