New PC for coding, 1K too expensive?

So - there are comments here saying "it's too powerful" for a workstation ... it's not. Workstations are professional machines - for professionals. You need to be productive and have an environment that is built to support your work.

When I develop I have a multi-VM setup to simulate a real environment. I may have multiple webservers, database servers, a couple API services ; etc.

On top of that I have my IDE and debugger running.

When your app is complex enough - you do need this power.

That memory, though - that's a really bad amount of RAM for your purpose. I run 32gb and 64gb in my workstations.

My suggestion: Cut some price out of your case maybe and put that into RAM. You don't need your workstation to look fancy.
