Thanks guys......I have learned a lot from you guys. I may just suck it up and pay a little more than I was going to. Sounds like I will see a real difference in performance compared to what I use now.
It's far more than simply the CPU. The entire architecture of the systems is also improved with each generation. There is no comparison across 5+ generations. One or two is incremental.Im not sure the generation of processor really matters that much, I doubt the processor will end up being your bottleneck in a new computer. That said if you're going to go by processor I believe AMD offers a better value in that department.
Heres your processor comparison chart if CPU power is what you're after.

Not a huge fan of Dell's Inspiron lineup but you certainly want the SSD. The 5676 gives you this. Both have dedicated GPU options so they will likely do even more than just two displays.How about these? Anyone know if I can run 2 monitors with one of these 2?

I bought a refurbished iMAC a few years ago and couldn't be happier. I had owned PC's prior. I don't miss Windows, AV stuff or any Microsoft products at all. Here's where I got my deal: https://www.apple.com/shop/refurbished
+1 Once you go Mac, ya never go back!
You can pull it off Grandpa. If not, ask the twins.As in many things you do get what you pay for. My original budget got stretched for this new Windows 10 machine but it seems to have been barely if ever really used. I like it.
Well once I learn how to navigate the darn operating program.
Spend the money and get a Mac.
If your not building something specialized, your not going to be saving much by building any more. That said it is still fun to do if you like building things.In this age of information, I'm surprised there were not more suggestions of building your own. Did just that this past spring after research on Youtube and online articles guiding me thru component selection and am pleased with that decision. If I can do it, you most likely can too.

You are two or three weeks from the best hardware prices of this year. Trend as of the last few years is continual sales through the beginning of next year.
Picked a good time, if you can afford to wait and watch prices, shipping, etc.
Maybe the digital wizards of INGO can help you keep track of sales and guide you as what is most suitable for you?

Incidentally, since this is a gun forum, I'll add my .
Unless Apple changes leadership and company philosophy, they will NEVER EVER see a dime of this Hoosier gun owner's money.

It is worth it just as a fun challenge if you've not built one before. Lots of sites that make it real easy today. Really not as hard as it might sound either, just some possibly frustrating troubleshooting if it doesn't boot on your first try.
I would be interested to hear your story about how Apple screwed you.That would be great since I am in no hurry, figure I will at least wait until I see the Dell black friday deals. I am with you on Apple....screw me once shame on you, screw me twice shame on me. They will never get that chance with me...I refuse to buy anything Apple.
