The way I did my last two rigs is this. Find the fastest CPU. Drop
down about 2 models. That is not the fastest but very close to it but a
LOT cheaper. Then buy a mobo and memory to go with it. You get a
system that is likely close to 90% of the fastest you can get but a lot
cheaper. Nowadays, even if you drop down a lot, it still costs a arm
and a leg and you get a lot less.

I look at tech as having two pricing models - the champagne model for
the new stuff, where doubling performance doubles the price. And the
coke model for older tech, where transport costs dominate, and different
specs don't differ much in price. If I can get my tech at the "knee",
where champagne prices become coke prices, I'm happy.
