Thanks for the reply. I should have mentioned this to start but I'm planning on building my own system. I still look at what other system builders like Puget Systems use in terms of motherboards, etc. in combination with [1] PCPartPicker.com and hardware review sites.

Old servers make killer workstations, so perhaps base your specs around that. They often support far more memory and better CPU options than anything else. Having said that, my 2nd programming workstation is an older gaming laptop (an Acer Nitro) - core i7, 32gb of memory, two SSDs. It's not quite the monster that my main machine is (a truly ancient HPE deskside server with dual xeons and 96Gb of memory) but it's pretty darn fast. The server is faster though, especially if you have 3 IDE's running (debugging an IOT project) and a couple of VMs to mimic your deployment scenario.
