Build or prebuilt PC for my needs

I've poked around since my earlier post about AMD and it looks like there are a few studio PC builders out there using the Ryzen processors with great success.

The AMD Ryzen 12 core / 24 thread processor is awfully tempting, especially after reading Fish's note about the Intel processors.

Decisions, decisions.

Dan, I don't get it. You ball out of control. Why not just drop $4k on a top of the line pre-built and call it a day?
